The Rockets will interview Hornets assistant coach Stephen Silas on Friday according to a source.
It's the second interview for Silas, the son of former coach and NBA player Paul Silas.
The Rockets still haven't identified any front-runners for the vacant position, however, Philadelphia associate head coach Mike D'Antoni is gaining momentum in the process. He's had two interviews with team officials, including a one-on-one with owner Leslie Alexander.
