Trail Blazers general manager Neil Olshey said he will begin interviewing head coach candidates later this week at the Las Vegas Summer League.

“We have vetted all the candidates, and we have our list,’’ Olshey said. “I will have some clarity at the end of the week in terms of names that will be on the interview list. Right now, I plan on conducting interviews in Vegas. It’s the atmosphere most conducive to a search. we can see almost all the guys, who are on staffs, so we can bang through it pretty quickly and efficiently.’’

The Las Vegas Summer League features 23 NBA teams and starts Friday; eight NBA teams are playing in the Orlando Summer League, which started Monday.
