The reported move would make Nori the Bulls' 22nd permanent head coach, with in-person interviews for Lloyd and other candidates expected before the NBA Draft Combine in Chicago on 10-17 May.
Nori has been Minnesota coach Chris Finch's top assistant since 2021 and has previously interviewed for several NBA head coaching jobs, including with the Lakers, Pistons, Cavaliers and Knicks.
