NBC Sports reports that the former NBA guard turned coach has been Doc Rivers’ right-hand man for the 76ers for the past three years. 

Until the coaching staff was fired by Philadelphia because they were eliminated in the second round of the Eastern Conference playoffs in 2023, Cassell was looking for a new path.
