The Hornets have elected to part ways with coach James Borrego, ESPN’s Adrian Wojnarowski reports.
Borrego lead the team for four seasons, finishing with a 148–183 record. The 2021–22 season was his best with Charlotte, going 43–39. The team entered the postseason play-in tournament as the No. 10 seed in the Eastern Conference, falling to No. 9 Atlanta 132–103 to eliminate it from playoff contention.
It was the team’s second straight play-in tournament berth as the No. 10 seed. In 2021, the team was blown out by the Pacers in its first game.
