The Wizards are reportedly nearing an agreement to hire Nuggets assistant Wes Unseld Jr. to be the franchise's next head coach, according to ESPN's Adrian Wojnarowski.
The two sides are expected to begin contract negotiations Saturday, with both parties anticipating it will result in an agreement.
Unseld has been with Denver since 2015. He was elevated to associate head coach in December 2020, and has been credited with overseeing the team's defensive game plans. Unseld had previously worked as an assistant coach with the Wizards, Warriors and Magic after beginning his NBA coaching career in 2005.
