The Sixers have been in touch with a representative for Avery Johnson, according to a source.

The former Dallas Mavericks coach is currently working as a studio analyst for ESPN.

One source said "the timing isn't right" for Johnson; the other source suggested that Johnson didn't seem interested in being part of a wide-ranging search. Johnson had been working with agent Tyler Glass, but is now being advised by a consultant.

The Sixers also may reach out to Jeff Van Gundy.
