Los Angeles Lakers assistant coach Kurt Rambis has emerged as the front-runner for the Minnesota Timberwolves’ coaching job, multiple league sources tell Yahoo! Sports.
Rambis leads a pool of finalists that includes ABC-TV analyst and former NBA point guard Mark Jackson and Houston Rockets assistant Elston Turner. Though a source close to Rambis says he has not yet been offered the job, multiple people with knowledge of the search say Minnesota is leaning toward choosing him. The Wolves are expected to make a decision soon.
