Hornets Rumors: Mike D'Antoni, Kenny Atkinson, Darvin Ham Among HC Candidates

The Charlotte Hornets have an early list of names to interview for their head coaching vacancy, including former coaches Mike D'Antoni and Kenny Atkinson, per ESPN's Adrian Wojnarowski.

Dallas Mavericks assists Sean Sweeney and Milwaukee Bucks assists Darvin Ham will also reportedly interview for the open position.

The Hornets fired previous head coach James Borrego in April after four seasons with the team.

Charlotte's 43-39 record this season was the team's first winning record since 2015-16, but the squad still fell short of the playoffs with a 29-point loss to the Atlanta Hawks in the play-in tournament.
