[naviga:h3]Scott not returning as Lakers coach[/naviga:h3]

LOS ANGELES — Byron Scott will not return to coach the Los Angeles Lakers next season, the team announced.

Scott coached the Lakers for the two worst seasons in the 16-time NBA champion franchise’s history, going 38-126. The Lakers are making another break from the Kobe Bryant era by firing the coach who shepherded the superstar guard’s farewell season but couldn’t coax many wins out of an otherwise dismal roster.

Los Angeles finished with the NBA’s second-worst record at 17-65 this season, losing four more games than in its previous franchise-worst season in 2014-15.

HOUSTON — Golden State’s Stephen Curry will have an MRI on Monday after spraining his right knee in Game 4 against Houston.

Curry was injured on the final play of the first half when he slid awkwardly to the court while defending and immediately grabbed his knee.

He got up and looked to have trouble putting weight on it before jogging with a limp to the locker room. He came out with the team after halftime, but sat on the bench for most of the warmup time.
