The Washington Wizards interviewed Philadelphia 76ers assistant Sam Cassell for their coaching vacancy on Tuesday, according to a report.
The Athletic reported Washington met with Cassell as it looks to replace former coach Scott Brooks. This marks the Wizards‘ second known interview — also having spoken with Celtics assistant Scott Morrison. Washington also reportedly requested to speak with Mavericks assistant Jamahl Mosley.
Cassell, 51, has been an assistant since 2009 — starting his coaching career under the late Flip Saunders. He spent five seasons with the franchise before joining Doc Rivers’ staff with the Los Angeles Clippers.
