Minnesota Timberwolves lead assistant Micah Nori might parlay his expanded playoff role into a head coaching job elsewhere.
The Cleveland Cavaliers have received permission to speak with Nori about their head coaching job, according to Adrian Wojnarowski of ESPN. Nori is among several assistants eyed by the Cavaliers, along with the likes of Kenny Atkinson and James Borrego.
Nori is getting a good bit of attention right now after essentially handling sideline duties during the playoffs following Chris Finch’s knee injury. An Ohio native, Nori had a significant role in gameplanning even before Finch got hurt, and was likely to be on the head coaching radar either way.
