Kings assistant coach Jordi Fernandez is one step closer to potentially leaving Sacramento for his first NBA head coaching role.
After being named a reported finalist for the Charlotte Hornets gig on Apr. 3 in addition to Boston Celtics assistant Charles Lee, Miami Heat assistant Chris Quinn and Phoenix Suns assistant Kevin Young, Fernandez reportedly is in the running to become head coach of the Brooklyn Nets.
Fernandez, along with former Milwaukee Bucks head coach Mike Budenholzer and Young, is one of three finalists for the Nets job, The Athletic's Shams Charania reported Saturday, citing sources.
