Van Gundy visits Kings, will weigh options

? The Sacramento Kings might have moved to the top of Stan Van Gundy’s list of suitors.

Van Gundy spent Wednesday in Sacramento, touring the area and meeting with Kings officials for further discussions about becoming their head coach, the club confirmed.

The Orlando Magic are also hoping to sign Van Gundy after releasing Florida coach Billy Donovan from his deal Wednesday, but the Kings apparently are making a renewed push to get the former Miami Heat coach. The Indiana Pacers aggressively pursued Van Gundy during the offseason before hiring Jim O’Brien.

Van Gundy, a Northern California native, was expected to meet with Kings president of basketball operations Geoff Petrie, who just returned to Sacramento from a pre-draft camp in Orlando.

Efforts to contact Van Gundy weren’t successful Wednesday.
