Denver Nuggets lead assistant Wes Unseld Jr. has the Houston Rockets’ attention.
Denver Nuggets head coach Michael Malone has said many times that assistant coach Wes Unseld Jr., who was behind the team’s defensive improvements in the 2020 NBA Playoffs, deserves to be a head coach.
After there was initial speculation that the Chicago Bulls (now run by former Nuggets general manager Arturos Karnisovas) would have interest in Unseld before they pegged Billy Donovan as their new head coach, Malone may finally be getting his wish.
