GUANGZHOU, Jan. 20 (Xinhua) -- Former Cleveland Cavaliers coach Larry Drew will take charge of Chinese Basketball Association side Guangzhou Loong Lions, the CBA club said on Monday.
Guangzhou Loong Lions said in an announcement that the club had "made an agreement" with Drew, and that the 62-year-old would officially become head coach after "the audit of registration materials".
Drew replaces Juan Antonio Orenga, who was sacked after guiding Guangzhou to just six wins and 23 losses in this season's CBA, with the south China side currently languishing in 18th place in the 20-team league.
Drew took over at Cleveland in October 2018 before parting company with the NBA side in April 2019. Enditem
