Dallas Mavericks assistant Jamahl Mosley has agreed to a four-year deal to become the Orlando Magic's new head coach, sources told ESPN.
The Magic are replacing Steve Clifford, who mutually parted with the team last month. The Magic had reached the playoffs in consecutive years before trade deadline deals including All-Star Nikola Vucevic (Chicago) and Evan Fournier (Boston) this season moved them into rebuilding mode.
The Magic's search process had narrowed to two candidates, Mosley and Denver assistant Wes Unseld Jr., who has also emerged as one of the leading candidates for the Washington Wizards' vacancy, sources said earlier this week.
