The Orlando Magic are reportedly giving strong consideration to Sean Sweeney in their search for a new head coach.

According to Jake Fischer, Sweeney has emerged as one of the leading candidates to replace Jahmal Mosley following the team’s offseason coachin g change.

Sweeney is currently serving as the lead assistant coach with the San Antonio Spurs under Mitch Johnson and has built a strong reputation around the league through his work on several coaching staffs.

Before joining San Antonio, he spent years as a trusted top assistant alongside Jason Kidd at multiple stops.

One league coaching source emphasized Orlando’s level of interest, stating: “They’re very interested.”

The Magic began their coaching search after parting ways with Mosley following a first-round playoff loss to the Detroit Pistons that went the full seven games.

Sweeney is not the only candidate under consideration. Billy Donovan and Jeff Van Gundy have also been linked to the position as Orlando evaluates its options ahead of next season.

According to reports, Magic executives planned to meet with Sweeney during the Western Conference Finals as the organization continues its search for its next head coach.
