Jamahl Mosley a front-runner for Orlando Magic head-coaching job

Jamahl Mosley is a front-runner for the Orlando Magic head-coaching job.

ESPN’s Adrian Wojnarowski reported on Thursday that the Magic are “closing in” on Mosley to make him their next head coach.

The Magic are looking for a new coach after parting ways with Steve Clifford and might have one in Mosley. The 42-year-old has been an assistant coach for the Dallas Mavericks since 2014. He has a good rapport with Luka Doncic, who favored him for the Mavs job that went to Jason Kidd.

A report said that Mosley was likely to leave the Mavericks after being passed over for their head-coaching job. It looks like Mosley is going to be taking a step up in the coaching ranks.

In addition to the interest he has received from Orlando, Mosley reportedly is a finalist for the Wizards job.
