Summary
Portland is down to two head-coaching finalists — Celtics assistant Tyler Lashbrook and Timberwolves assistant Micah Nori — after Tiago Splitter moved toward the Bulls job.
Chicago was finalizing Splitter as its next coach, removing one of Portland's finalists and forcing the Trail Blazers to reset the final stage of their search.
ESPN reported both remaining candidates are expected to meet with Trail Blazers ownership soon as the team moves toward a decision.
Lashbrook joined Boston before the 2023-24 season after 9 years with Philadelphia and also coached the Maine Celtics in 2024-25, while another Celtics assistant, Tony Dobbins, has also been linked to Dallas' vacancy.
