CHARLOTTE, N.C. (AP) — The Charlotte Hornets have fired coach James Borrego, said a person familiar with the situation.
The person spoke to The Associated Press Friday on condition of anonymity because the team has not publicly announced the move.
The 44-year-old Borrego was 138-163 in four seasons with the Hornets. Charlotte finished 43-39 this season, but was blown out in the play-in game for the second straight year. The Hornets have not make the playoffs since the 2015-16 season and have not won a playoff series since the 2001-02 season.
ESPN was first to report the firing.
