Brooklyn Nets Hiring Jordi Fernandez As Head Coach

The list was between Kevin Young, Mike Budenholzer, and Jordi Fernandez for the Brooklyn Nets open position. Earlier reports said a meeting with Joe Tsai would be the final step to understanding who should lead Brooklyn next.

After a thorough coaching search, Tsai and Sean Marks will hire assistant head coach Jordi Fernandez on a multi-year deal to coach the organization. It’s unknown the exact specifics of the deal, however, it’s speculated to be a multi-year contract.

They’ve been searching for a head coach since February due to them firing Jacque Vaughn, who was with Brooklyn since 2016-17 as an assistant coach. He coached 139 total games in his tenure with Brooklyn.

Jordi Fernandez will now get a promotion in the NBA after working with the Sacramento Kings as a top assistant coach. From 2016-17 to 2021-22, the 41-year-old worked as an assistant under Michael Malone. From 2022-23 till now, he worked under Mike Brown.

According to Chris Haynes, the Philadelphia 76ers have made the executive decision to not allow Joel Embiid play in any back-to-back games. It can be the beginning of it or the ending of it.

This would limit him to playing only 66 games this season, that’s if he can remain healthy for all those games.

Philadelphia wants to preserve his health for a potential postseason run, as his status for later in the NBA calendar has always been so up and down.

The last time the 31-year-old played 60+ games was back in 2023-24. In the 2023-24 season, Embiid only played in 39 games. Last season, Embiid only played in 19 games.

According to ESPN’s Shams Charania, the Sacramento Kings are signing Russell Westbrook to a one-year deal worth $3.6 million.

Originally, Westbrook was with the Denver Nuggets, where he could have went back with his player option. However, he chose to leave since they were not going to use him in a productive and meaningful role.

The 36-year-old already has chemistry with players on the Kings, as he played with Domantas Sabonis when both of them were on the Oklahoma City Thunder. Westbrook has had friendships with both DeMar DeRozan and Zach LaVine.

Besides Sacramento showing interest in the legendary point guard, not a single other team wanted his talents.

After grueling months of not being on a team, Westbrook will officially be back in the National Basketball Association with the Kings. This will be sixth team since departing the Thunder.
