Sources: Magic finalizing deal to hire Spurs asst. Sweeney as coach

The Orlando Magic are finalizing a deal to hire San Antonio Spurs associate head coach Sean Sweeney as the franchise's new head coach, sources told ESPN on Friday.

Sweeney, who has spent this season as San Antonio's lead assistant, will replace Jamahl Mosley, who was fired after the Magic lost 4-3 to Detroit in their first-round series, and has since become the head coach of the New Orleans Pelicans.

Sweeney will finish the remainder of the postseason on the Spurs' bench, including Game 7 of the Western Conference finals, which is set for Saturday night against the Oklahoma City Thunder, with a berth in the NBA Finals on the line.
