A former member of the Portland Trail Blazers’ coaching staff has a new gig, according to ESPN’s Adrian Wojnarowski.
Kaleb Canales is joining the Texas Legends of the G League as associate head coach, sources tell ESPN. Canales returns to the Mavericks organization, where he spent five of his 17 seasons as an NBA assistant and interim head coach. Jordan Sears is the Legends’ new head coach.
Canales was an assistant coach for the Portland Trail Blazers for four seasons from the 2009-10 season through the 2012-13 season. He also took over and served as head coach after the mid-season firing of coach Nate McMillan.
