Jodie Meeks, former Los Angeles Lakers player, is stepping into a coaching role with the New Orleans Pelicans, pairing up with head coach Willie Green and veteran assistant Dan Geriot.

This marks Meeks' first NBA coaching job, although he has prior experience as an assistant. His professional playing career included stints with teams like the Milwaukee Bucks, Philadelphia 76ers, and a notable playoff run with the Lakers alongside Kobe Bryant.
