Philadelphia 76ers coach Eddie Jordan says he's not worried about a newspaper report stating he could be fired soon.

The Philadelphia Inquirer, citing unidentified sources, reported on Tuesday that Comcast-Spectator was ready to fire Jordan, likely after his first season with the team is complete.

The 76ers are 23-40 heading into Wednesday night's game against Charlotte, 8 1/2 games out of the final playoff spot in the Eastern Conference.

Jordan signed a four-year contract when he was hired.

He said of the speculation, ``that if you know how to handle it, then it won't bother you.''

Jordan says he hasn't approached his bosses regarding the report.
