Report: Mike D'Antoni, Ime Udoka Finalizing Deals to Join Steve Nash's Nets Coaching Staff

Mike D'Antoni and Ime Udoka are finalizing contracts to become assistant coaches under Steve Nash's staff with the Brooklyn Nets, according to ESPN's Adrian Wojnarowski.

D'Antoni coached Nash on the Phoenix Suns from 2004 to 2008 and then from 2012 to 2014 with the Los Angeles Lakers.

Last month, D'Antoni told the Houston Rockets that he would not be returning as head coach next season. He finished his four seasons in Houston with a 217–102 record.

Udoka has spent time as an assistant on Gregg Popovich's coaching staff with the San Antonio Spurs.

Nash already has former Suns teammate Amar'e Stoudemire on his staff as an assistant coach focusing on player development.
