The Philadelphia 76ers are in talks to hire Mike D'Antoni as associate head coach.
D'Antoni has been in talks with Jerry Colangelo and Brett Brown about a position that could begin later this month.
The timing of Brown's two-year extension on Friday, a deal that extends through the end of the 2018-19 season, has apparently eased any concerns that D'Antoni would be brought to the Sixers as some kind of head coach in waiting.
D'Antoni would like to become a head coach again and an assistant position would help his chances.
The Los Angeles Lakers let D'Antoni go as head coach at the end of the 13-14 season.
