James Borrego will be dismissed as coach of the Charlotte Hornets, according to reports.
The 44-year-old took up the role in 2018 and reached the play-in tournament in each of the last two seasons in Charlotte.
However, according to ESPN’s Adrian Wojnarowski, the Hornets will relieve Borrego of his duties after failing to reach this year’s NBA playoffs.
Despite winning 11 of their last 15 games in the regular season to earn a spot in the play-in tournament, they fell at the first hurdle as they were beaten 132-103 by the Atlanta Hawks.
Borrego finished the 2021-22 season with a record of 43-39, and an overall record of 138-163 in his time with the Hornets.
