The Cleveland Cavaliers are in the process of selecting a new head coach, and it seems like Kenny Atkinson is becoming a top candidate for the position. While James Borrego was initially considered the frontrunner, NBA insider Marc Stein has revealed that Atkinson is now gaining momentum in the race.
In addition to Atkinson, Micah Nori, an assistant coach for the Minnesota Timberwolves, is also being considered for the job. The decision on who will lead the Cavaliers next season is crucial, as it could impact the Detroit Pistons’ search for a new head coach following the departure of Monty Williams. According to Stein, the Pistons have shown interest in Borrego, further highlighting the significance of the Cavaliers’ coaching selection.
The vacancy in Cleveland was created after JB Bickerstaff was relieved of his duties following the team’s elimination in the second round of the playoffs by the Boston Celtics. With the coaching carousel in full swing, it will be interesting to see how the domino effect plays out across the league.
As the coaching search continues, fans and analysts alike will be keeping a close eye on the developments and speculations surrounding the Cavaliers’ decision. Stay tuned for more updates and in-depth analysis as the situation unfolds.
