Overview
- The team opened 0-6 with three 30-point defeats and enters Sunday on a four-game skid at 2-10, with the Warriors up next in New Orleans.
- Borrego, a former Hornets head coach, was elevated from associate head coach, and Dumars indicated he expects him to lead the club for the rest of the season without a firm guarantee.
- Green departs with a 150-190 record over four-plus seasons that included two playoff trips ending in first-round losses.
- Injuries have been a major factor this fall, with Zion Williamson limited to five games by a hamstring issue, Jordan Poole sidelined by a quadriceps strain, and Dejounte Murray still out recovering from a torn Achilles.
- Owner Gayle Benson publicly backed Dumars’ authority as scrutiny grows over roster construction, including an offseason trade up for Derik Queen that cost a 2026 first-round pick.
