CLEVELAND — A person familiar with the meeting tells The Associated Press that the Cleveland Cavaliers will interview Timberwolves assistant Micah Nori for their head coaching vacancy in the next few days. A long-time NBA assistant, Nori assumed bench duties during the playoffs when Minnesota coach Chris Finch suffered a knee injury and had limited mobility. The person spoke to the AP on condition of anonymity Monday because the team is not commenting during the search to find J.B. Bickerstaff's replacement. The person said Nori joins a list of candidates in Cleveland that will continue to grow.
