Overview
- New Orleans announced the dismissal Saturday morning, less than a day after a 118-104 loss to the Lakers extended the slide to four games.
- Associate head coach James Borrego, formerly the Hornets' head coach, steps in on an interim basis with the Warriors visiting Sunday.
- Dumars released a statement thanking Green for his contributions, and Gayle Benson affirmed the decision was his to make.
- The start featured an NBA-record three 30-point losses in the first six games following an 0-6 opening stretch.
- Green departs with a 150-190 record and two playoff trips, as this season’s plans were further hindered by limited availability for Zion Williamson and a continued absence for Dejounte Murray.
