內容：
The Los Angeles Lakers are in the market to hire a new head athletic trainer
after injuries ravaged their 2020-21 season.

洛杉磯湖人隊在經歷過2020-21飽受傷病困擾的賽季後，
正在市場上尋找新的首席運動訓練員。

Nina Hsieh, promoted to head trainer two years ago, did not have her contract
renewed, sources told ESPN.

Nina Hsieh 兩年前被拉拔為首席訓練員，沒獲得延長合約，消息告訴ESPN。

Hsieh worked for the franchise for more than a decade, beginning as the head
athletic trainer in charge of the health and wellness program for the Lakers'
G League affiliate then working as an assistant trainer for the Lakers before
taking over as head athletic trainer in August 2019.

She became the first woman to be the head athletic trainer on a championship
team in American major professional sports history when Los Angeles won the
title in the NBA bubble in Orlando, Florida, in October.

However, the Lakers' repeat bid fell short with a first-round exit to the
Phoenix Suns, with Anthony Davis (groin), Kentavious Caldwell-Pope (left
knee) and Alex Caruso (ankle) all hampered in the series. This after a
regular season in which LeBron James missed 26 of the Lakers' final 30 games
with a high right ankle sprain, Davis missed 36 games, and Los Angeles'
roster missed 201 games in total, according to Spotrac data.

It is the second time in the past three years the Lakers have parted ways
with their head athletic trainer. Los Angeles let Marco Nunez go in April
2019 after three years at the helm after a season in which Lakers players
lost 212 games because of injury.

Before Nunez, Gary Vitti served in the role for more than 30 years.

More changes are expected as the team is in the process of restructuring its
approach to player health, sources told ESPN.

ESPN's Baxter Holmes contributed to this report.

短評或心得：
Nina Hsieh 記得先前還有報導說是台灣之光...
他也是第一位女性的首席訓練師
沒想到湖人暑假第一個操作是沒與他續約
