Report: Pacers, in need of coach, target Rockets’ Mike D’Antoni

Mike D’Antoni’s contract expires after the end of the Rockets’ playoff run in the NBA bubble, and a report already has another team interested in making him their next head coach.

The Indiana Pacers, who fired Nate McMillan on Wednesday after being swept by the Miami Heat in the first round, are targeting D’Antoni if he doesn't sign a new contract with the Rockets, according to ESPN’s Adrian Wojnarowski.

If D'Antoni doesn't re-sign in Houston, the 69-year-old coach could be in high demand with Brooklyn and Philadelphia also looking for coaches after quick playoff exits.
