The Charlotte Hornets and coach James Borrego are finalizing a multi-year contract extension, sources told ESPN’s Adrian Wojnarowski.
Borrego, who had one year left on his deal, has overseen significant development of a young roster, including Rookie of the Year LaMelo Ball, and reached the play-in round last season despite dealing with several major injuries.
Borrego, 43, will be entering his fourth season with the Hornets. The team is 95-124 in his first three seasons as the helm, including a 33-39 mark last season that ended with a 144-117 loss to the Pacers in the play-in game.
He also served as the head coach of the Orlando Magic for 30 games during the 2014-15 season, filling in after Jacque Vaughn was fired, going 10-20.
