The 76ers are considering talking to Denver assistant Melvin Hunt about their coaching job, but they might have to fend off the Nuggets.
Denver is believed to be interested in promoting Hunt to replace George Karl, who was fired last week, league sources said Monday.
“The Sixers have not formally made contact to begin the process, but there has been some talk through the back channels,” a source said.
The Sixers have not sought permission from the Nuggets to speak with Hunt, according to the source.
