There has been another firestorm of Wizards coaching news and I almost missed this one. So let’s go.
Anyway, Los Angeles Lakers assistant coach Phil Handy has interviewed for the Washington Wizards vacancy in June, according to Kyle Goon of the Orange County Register. Based on the timing, he interviewed in the first round, but it’s unclear whether he is also in the second round.
Handy has been an assistant coach for the Lakers in two different stints. Besides his current stint since 2019, he was also with the Lakers from 2011-13. Handy was also on the Cavaliers’ (2013-18) and Raptors’ (2018-19) staffs.
