The Sacramento Kings plan on interviewing Mike Woodson for their head coaching vacancy.

The Kings sought and were granted permission by the Clippers to meet with Woodson as he's currently an assistant coach with the franchise. Woodson was previously a head coach with the New York Knicks and Atlanta Hawks.

The Kings also have interest in Vinny Del Negro, Kevin McHale and Mark Jackson, among others.

The Kings are replacing George Karl, who was fired after a 33-49 season.
