Nori is not among three names who are reportedly 'leading' candidates for the job.
The Los Angeles Lakers are searching for a new head coach and while Timberwolves assistant Micah Nori is reportedly a candidate for the job, who was not among the three names listed as "leading head coach targets" of the Lakers on Tuesday morning.
Nori has helped head coach Chris Finch mastermind game plans to help the Timberwolves become a unicornin the modern NBA. Going with a big lineup in a league that went small, the Timberwolves have blossomed into the No. 1 defense in the league this season. Nori's role got even bigger when Finch suffered a torn patellar tendon in his right knee in Game 4 of Minnesota's sweep of the Phoenix Suns in the first round of the playoffs. That led to Finch sitting in the second row behind the bench while Nori took Finch's place roaming the sideline for all four games thus far in the second-round series against the Nuggets.
Minnesota didn't miss a beat in Games 1 and 2 against Denver, but the Nuggets have evened the series with back-to-back wins in Games 3 and 4 in Minneapolis. Nori will again be roaming the sidelines in a pseudo head coach role for Game 5 in Denver Tuesday night.
