The Orlando Magic appear to be close to hiring Dallas Mavericks assistant coach Jamahl Mosley as the team’s next head coach, according to ESPN’s NBA Insider Adrian Wojnarowski.
Mosley would be the 15th head coach in the 32 seasons of the Orlando Magic, replacing Steve Clifford, who mutually parted ways with the Magic on June 5.
The Mavericks were in a bit of turmoil this season, and Dallas All-Star Luka Doncic made no secret of the fact that he would not mind seeing Mosley take over the reins in Dallas. Mosley was the interim head coach when Carlisle contracted COVID-19 during a portion of this past season.
