CLEVELAND — With their list of coaching candidates growing, the Cleveland Cavaliers received permission Tuesday to interview Denver assistant David Adelman, a person familiar with the team’s search told The Associated Press.

Adelman, the son of longtime NBA coach Rick Adelman, is the sixth known candidate contacted by the Cavs.

Cleveland could further expand its search in the coming days, said the person who spoke on condition of anonymity because the team is not commenting while looking for J.B. Bickerstaff’s successor.

ESPN was first to report Cleveland’s connection with Adelman.
