CHARLOTTE, N.C. — Mitch Kupchak has signed a multiyear contract extension Thursday to remain general manager of the Charlotte Hornets.
Kupchak’s contract was set to expire this summer.
“For better or for worse, I will be here for the next couple of years,” Kupchak said on a videoconference call. He would not say when the contract expires.
The 67-year-old Kupchak will continue to lead the team’s search for a coach.
He said the team already has interviewed “eight to 10 candidates” and could speak with a few more over the next week or so. He prefers to make a hire in the next two weeks and at the very latest before the June 23 NBA draft.
