The Orlando Magic have strong interest in Sean Sweeney for their head coaching vacancy. Sweeney is in his first season as the lead assistant coach under Mitch Johnson with the San Antonio Spurs. Sweeney previously was the top assistant coach at multiple stops with Jason Kidd.

"They're very interested," said one league coaching source.

The Magic parted ways with Jahmal Mosley this offseason following their seven-game first round exit to the Detroit Pistons.

Billy Donovan and Jeff Van Gundy are the other two known candidates for the job.

Magic officials planned to meet with Sweeney during the Western Conference Finals.
