The New Orleans Pelicans are about to board for Orlando and according to ESPN, minutes before the NBA called Alvin Gentry to inform him that he was authorized to go to the bubble to coach the team.
He had been waiting for the final answer from the NBA for several days, which reviews the medical records of the staff.
As for Mike D’Antoni, he still has not received the green light.
Gentry, 65, has been one of the league staff members undergoing further scrutiny before heading into bubble. Houston coach Mike D’Antoni, 69, is among those still awaiting word, although there’s optimism that he’ll be cleared too. Rockets leave for Orlando tomorrow. https://t.co/lZsfVsbR6q
