The Charlotte Hornets have fired James Borrego as head coach.
“I want to thank JB for his hard work and commitment during these past four seasons,” said Kupchak. “Beyond his work as a coach, he is a tremendous person. I wish him and his family the best in the future. These decisions are always difficult. Having said that, we have a talented, young core of players which has me very excited about the future of the Hornets. We will begin the search for our new head coach immediately.”
Borrego had a 138-163 record as head coach of the Hornets.
The Hornets reached the Play-In in each of the past two seasons, but were blown out in both games.
