League sources tell CBS Sports' Ken Berger the 76ers will interview lead assistant Michael Curry for their head-coaching vacancy next week.
Curry's been endorsed by both Jrue Holiday and Evan Turner as their preferred choice to replace Doug Collins, but that was before the 76ers hired Sam Hinkie as general manager. Hinkie has made it clear he's not beholden to any of the Sixers' old guard -- be it coaches or players -- so we expect Curry to be just one of several candidates Hinkie meets with in the coming days.

Jrue Holiday - G - 76ers

Jrue Holiday says the 76ers would "still be in the playoffs" if Andrew Bynum was healthy.

A lot of sentences this season started with the phrase, "if Andrew Bynum was healthy." Of course, we knew early on that probably wasn't going to be the case this season and it remains to be seen how healthy he'll be rest of his career. Bynum's knee problems will be a major red flag in free agency and it's hard to imagine new Sixers GM Sam Hinkie banking his franchise on the fragile big man. Holiday does need help though and his comments illustrate just how big of a hole the Sixers were left with thanks to Bynum's season-long absence.

Jrue Holiday - G - 76ers

New Sixers GM Sam Hinkie called Jrue Holiday, Evan Turner and Thaddeus Young "interesting young players that you have to think about and you need to really assess."

It's an interesting comment but not necessarily a telling one. Turner's future in Philadelphia is very cloudy, but it would be a surprise to see the team put Young on the block, and Holiday is considered a focal point of Philadelphia's future. It's clear that Hinkie is not afraid to remake the roster his way, so we'd expect an offseason of change for the Sixers.

Jrue Holiday endorsed Sixers assistant Michael Curry as the team's next head coach.

"I've known him for the last three years," Holiday said. "He's somebody I trust, and somebody I'd love as a head coach." Curry played a "major role" in Holiday's development, and while he's under consideration for the Sixers' head coaching gig, there is not a clear frontrunner at this time. "I think he was the glue to our team last year," Holiday added.

Sixers associate head coach Michael Curry and Pacers assistant Brian Shaw are "believed" to be on the Sixers' coaching radar.

The Sixers are not expected to interview Mike Malone and Jeff Hornacek until next week, but both Shaw and curry are also expected to get a shot. According to Philly Blurbs, Quin Snyder is another name who could pop up on the radar at some point soon, but there's nothing definitive there yet.

Jrue Holiday - G - 76ers

The Sixers have "conducted a thorough background check" on Warriors assistant Mike Malone, who appears to be the leading candidate for the head coaching job at this time, sources told CBS Sports.

Malone's name has been kicked around in coaching circles for a while now, and after the Sixers had received permission to interview him, it seems as if the team has legitimate interest in possibly making him their next head coach. However, the report states it's "too early to identify a front-runner," but the front office has contacted the Warriors "multiple times about Malone, including several conversations with consultant Jerry West."

The Sixers have received permission to interview Golden State Warriors assistant Mike Malone and Utah Jazz assistant Jeff Hornacek for their head-coaching vacancy, according to Yahoo! Sports.

The Sixers will likely interview more than just these two for the job, but they are the early favorites in the hunt for Doug Collins' old gig.

Sixers GM Tony DiLeo is facing an uncertain future with the team.

Owner Josh Harris offered a less than ringing endorsement. "I believe that we certainly made decisions that we all can learn from last year and things didn’t work out - so everything is on the table," Harris said. "We’re going to be looking at all aspects of the organization in trying to bring a winner to Philly. So that’s the way I would answer that." DiLeo has less than two months remaining on his contract.

Jrue Holiday - G - 76ers

Warriors assistant coach Mike Malone and Pacers associated coach Brian Shaw are high on the Sixers' wish list for their head coaching vacancy, sources tell Dei Lynam of CSN Philly.

According to Lynam, Malone's name was also on the list of "dark-horse candidates" when the team was looking to replace Eddie Jordan in 2010. At the time, Malone was an assistant with Cleveland but has since seen his stock rise with New Orleans and now Golden State. Shaw, on the other hand, has been mentioned for openings before, particularly the Lakers. He took the associate coach job on Frank Vogel's staff after failing to land a head coaching job in 2011.

Jrue Holiday - G - 76ers

Jrue Holiday played just nine minutes and had five points in Wednesday's win over the Pacers.

Holiday was up and down this season, but figures to be one of the better fantasy point guards in the league for years to come. He'll also play for a new coach next season, as Doug Collins rides into the sunset. Holiday became Philadelphia's first player since Wilt Chamberlain in 1967-68 to average more than 17 points and eight assists for an entire season.

Jrue Holiday - G - 76ers

Jrue Holiday shot 7-of-15 from the field for 14 points with three boards, three assists and one steal in 28 minutes during a 109-101 loss to Detroit on Monday.

He did have five turnovers, but it was nice to see him shoot the ball well. Holiday has been taking too many long-range 2-pointers and is shooting just 32 percent on his 4.6 shots per game from 16-23 feet. He's not having a strong finish after earning an All-Star nod.

Jrue Holiday - G - 76ers

Jrue Holiday had another sub-par shooting performance on Sunday, making 6-of-17 from the field for 14 points with five boards, four assists, one steal and one 3-pointer in 32 minutes.

April hasn't been kind to Holiday and he's shooting just 30 percent in the month. Holiday was flirting with first-round value back in 2013, but he's only put up sixth-round value in the last 30 days in standard leagues.

Jrue Holiday - G - 76ers

Jrue Holidah shot 8-of-17 from the field for 22 points with seven boards, one steal and one 3-pointer in 37 minutes against the Wizards on Friday.

His offense has really hit the skids since the All-Star break, making just 39.1 percent of his field goal attempts. Holiday's assists have also dropped to 7.1 per game since the break, which is down from the 8.9 he put up before that point. He's still expected to be a top-10 point guard next year.

Jrue Holiday - G - 76ers

Jrue Holiday hit 5-of-10 shots and three 3-pointers for 15 points, but had just one assist in Tuesday's ugly loss to the Nets.

In addition to the 3-pointers, he also committed just one turnover tonight, which is a good thing. He admitted recently to being tired, which is probably a reason that his assists were nonexistent tonight. But as long as he's playing for Philly, he should be starting for your fantasy team.

Jrue Holiday - G - 76ers

Jrue Holiday admitted to having late-season fatigue.

Over his last four games, Holiday has shot 18-of-72 from the field, good for 25 percent. "It's been tiring, obviously. I won't lie," he said. "It's my first time really going through a season where you're averaging more than 35 minutes." Holiday is averaging a career-high 38.5 minutes this season compared to just under 34 last year. Holiday is also learning how to battle mental fatigue as well.
