LOS ANGELES • The Los Angeles Lakers will not hire a president of basketball operations to replace Magic Johnson, ESPN reported on Friday.

Per the report, general manager Rob Pelinka will remain in his role and report directly to owner Jeanie Buss, after previously reporting to Johnson.

Johnson abruptly resigned on April 9, minutes before the team's regular-season finale, saying he had not told anyone - including Buss, with whom he is close - about his decision in advance.
