Hornets fire coach James Borrego after four seasons


The Charlotte Hornets parted ways with head coach James Borrego on Friday after four seasons.

The Hornets had signed him to a multi-year contract extension in August but opted to go in another direction.

The team finished 43-39 in 2021-22 and reached the NBA’s play-in tournament for the second straight season. The Hornets lost the first play-in game each time, however, falling short of their first playoff berth since 2015-16.

Charlotte, however, showed improvement by increasing its win total by 10 in each of the last two seasons.

“I want to thank JB for his hard work and commitment during these past four seasons,” Hornets general manager Mitch Kupchak said. “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, 44, owns a 138-163 coaching record in 301 career games with the Hornets. He also had a 10-20 record in a brief stint as the head coach of the Orlando Magic in 2014-15.

Borrego also served as an assistant coach with the-then New Orleans Hornets (2010-12), Magic (2012-15) and San Antonio Spurs (2015-18).
