Paris Basketball is targeting former NBA head coach Dave Joerger as a possible replacement for Julius Thomas

Paris Basketball is exploring a high-profile coaching move, with former NBA head coach Dave Joerger in talks with the club, according to ESPN’s Olgun Uluc and BasketNews.

Joerger, 52, is viewed as a leading candidate to replace Julius Thomas, who is expected to leave Paris this summer while exploring opportunities to join an NBA coaching staff.

Paris has become a strong bridge between European basketball and the NBA. Former coaches Tuomas Iisalo and Tiago Splitter both moved to the NBA after successful spells with the French club.
