Yet another candidate has emerged in the Philadelphia 76ers' head coach search. Following a 4-1 defeat in the second round of the playoffs against the Los Angeles Lakers, Mike D'Antoni has told the Houston Rockets that he’ll become a free agent and won’t return to the team, per ESPN's Adrian Wojnarowski.
Wojnarowski added that D’Antoni “will be considered among a group of candidates” for the Sixers job.
It’s not surprising that D’Antoni has the Sixers’ interest. They should be weighing up plenty of options, and any big names with extensive head coaching experience in the NBA will probably be discussed as possible candidates.
