Jeff Peterson Named Hornets' New Head of Basketball Operations

Peterson brings experience from the Nets and Hawks to lead Charlotte's rebuild and playoff push.

Jeff Peterson is set to become the new head of basketball operations for the Charlotte Hornets, replacing Mitch Kupchak.
Peterson, previously the assistant GM for the Brooklyn Nets, brings a wealth of experience from his roles with the Nets and the Atlanta Hawks.
The Hornets are in the midst of a rebuild, having not made the playoffs since the 2016-17 season, and traded away key players prior to the deadline.
Peterson's first tasks include evaluating coach Steve Clifford's future, addressing the health of core players like LaMelo Ball, and deciding on Miles Bridges' long-term status.
Charlotte's new leadership under Peterson aims to revitalize the franchise and end the NBA's longest playoff drought.
