EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. (AP) -Avery Johnson says he has agreed to become the coach of the New Jersey Nets, the NBA’s worst team.
Johnson says in a text message to The Associated Press that he thinks the Nets will announce the deal Thursday.
Nets president and general manager Rod Thorn did not immediately respond when asked to comment on Johnson’s text. In an earlier e-mail to the AP, he said he “will have something to say” Thursday.
ESPN first reported Johnson’s hiring.
