The Charlotte Hornets are down to two finalists for their vacant head coaching position, with Mike D'Antoni and Kenny Atkinson scheduled to meet with owner Michael Jordan this week, ESPN reported Monday.

Should D'Antoni get the job, it would mark his sixth stint as an NBA head coach. He has a career record of 672-527 across 16 seasons with the Denver Nuggets, Phoenix Suns, New York Knicks, Los Angeles Lakers and Houston Rockets.

D'Antoni won NBA Coach of the Year twice, with the Suns in 2005 and the Rockets in 2017.
