Becky Hammon’s days as an assistant coach with the Spurs are coming to an end very soon.
Hammon is closing in on a historic deal to become the new head coach of the Las Vegas Aces of the WNBA, according to The Athletic’s Shams Charania and Chantel Jennings. The deal will reportedly make Hammon the highest-paid coach in league history.
Hammon has been an assistant with San Antonio for the past six seasons, and has been at the front of the Spurs’ bench since 2018. The 44-year-old was a six-time WNBA All-Star in a 16-year playing career.
