James Borrego’s candidacy with the Cleveland Cavaliers is “getting momentum,” according to ESPN’s Brian Windhorst on Monday morning on Get Up.
The Los Angeles Lakers reached a holding pattern over the weekend as they waited for an answer from Dan Hurley.
“Other candidates that they’re interested in, are moving on elsewhere,” said Windhorst. “So James Borrego, who they interviewed about 10 days ago, he’s getting momentum in Cleveland. He’s expected to interview there early this week as a potential leading candidate developing with the Cavs.”
Borrego is currently the top assistant coach with the New Orleans Pelicans and was previously a head coach with the Charlotte Hornets.
