The NBA’s off-season coaching search is gaining momentum, and two familiar names are at the center of early discussions, league sources told The Athletic.
Billy Donovan Connected to Expected Orlando Vacancy
Billy Donovan is being mentioned for several potential openings, most notably the Orlando Magic job that is anticipated to become available, according to the report. Donovan has often been viewed as a strong match for the Magic and famously reversed course on a 2007 agreement to coach the franchise. There is currently no confirmation of mutual interest.
Tom Thibodeau Considering a Return
Sources added that Tom Thibodeau is eager to coach again and would evaluate multiple opportunities, including a possible reunion with the Chicago Bulls after the organization’s recent front-office changes.
With limited positions expected and a growing pool of experienced candidates, timing and fit are projected to play decisive roles in the hiring process.
