Stan Van Gundy, according to Ira Winderman, has emerged as the leading candidate to become the next coach of the Pacers and could wind up filling that position by midweek.

The former Heat coach spent part of the weekend in Indianapolis with his wife, Kim.

The Pacers have taken a break from their interview process, a process that has included interviews with assistant coaches Chuck Person and Johnny Davis, as well as Lakers assistant and former Heat guard Brian Shaw.
