Field Level Media

Coaching candidate Mike D'Antoni is meeting with Charlotte Hornets owner Michael Jordan on Tuesday, ESPN reported.

D'Antoni, 71, was the other finalist to fill the vacancy before Golden State assistant Kenny Atkinson turned down the job on Saturday to remain with the Warriors.

If D'Antoni is hired, 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.
