On Friday, the Charlotte Hornets relieved head coach James Borrego of his duties, ending his four-year term as the team’s head coach.
Behalf of the Hornets, President of Basketball Operations & General Manager Mitch Kupchak put out a statement announcing the change.
“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.
