The Trail Blazers have come to an agreement with Clippers assistant Chauncey Billups to become the franchise's new head coach, according to ESPN's Adrian Wojnarowski. The contract is a five-year deal with a team option in the fifth year, Wojnarowski reports. A news conference is scheduled for Tuesday to make the official announcement, per ESPN.
The Athletic's Shams Charania was the first to report the hire on Friday.
Yahoo Sports' Chris Haynes reported earlier on Sunday that star point guard Damian Lillard may be on the way out of Portland because of the backlash the team faced for the reported hire.
