Phil Jackson visited the practice facility of the Los Angeles Lakers on Wednesday.

This marked the first time Jackson has been seen by the media at the facility over the past two seasons. The Lakers said Jackson just stopped by.

Jackson is a regular guest at the Lakers offices and has "an open door" to stop by whenever he's in Los Angeles.

Jackson still has ties to Jeanie Buss, Kurt Rambis, Luke Walton and Coby Karl.

"I have not talked to Phil today, no, but if that's him, I'll head upstairs," Walton said. "... Even the one year I semi-retired, Phil's someone I like to stay in constant communication with."
