The Philadelphia 76ers are reportedly close to adding Phil Handy to their coaching staff. Multiple outlets report that the team is finalizing an agreement that would make Handy an assistant coach on the 76ers.

Handy is described as coming from the Dallas Mavericks, where he previously worked as an assistant coach. Newsweek frames the move as him joining the 76ers’ coaching staff next season, while Yahoo Sports similarly characterizes the situation as the team working toward a deal to hire him. The reporting does not include details such as contract terms, the exact start date, or which existing staff responsibilities would change.

Overall, the sources agree on the core point: the 76ers are preparing to bring Phil Handy aboard as an assistant coach following his prior role with the Mavericks.
