The New Orleans Pelicans, after finishing a disappointing 26-56 season, will open a coaching search that includes interim head coach James Borrego as a candidate. Borrego was promoted to interim head coach after the firing of Willie Green, who was let go following a 2-10 start to the season. During his tenure, Borrego led the Pelicans to a 24-46 record. Before joining the Pelicans as an assistant coach in 2023, he was the head coach of the Charlotte Hornets for four seasons, where he recorded a 138-163 record and led the team to the Play-In tournament in his last two years, although they did not advance to the playoffs. The Pelicans are now looking for a new direction as they join the Milwaukee Bucks in their coaching search.
