A new head coach is on the horizon for the Hornets

Charlotte has a new head coach, well… almost a new head coach. It has come down to Kenny Atkinson, Mike D’Antoni, and Terry Stotts – for they are the finalists for the head coaching position. Now, why did I say they have a new head coach is on the horizon for this franchise?

I said that because Kenny Atkinson is the frontrunner to land the job, per Shams. He is set to be in another meeting with the Hornets, but what makes this special is the fact that this will be his third one. Also, Michael Jordan will be sitting in on this meeting to assess the potential head coach.

Atkinson is currently an assistant coach with the Golden State Warriors, who are in the NBA Finals right now. D’Antoni was a former head coach, he spent time with the Suns and with the Rockets. Stotts was also a former head coach, he coached the Trail Blazers.

Mark Williams Hasn't Returned To Hornets Since Trade Cancelled

According to multiple reports, Mark Williams has not returned to the Charlotte Hornets since the Los Angeles Lakers rescinded the trade involving Williams and Dalton Knecht.

Charlotte is giving Williams the ability to reset and to process all that has happened, as when he’ll return to the team is unclear at this moment.

Los Angeles will have Knecht back, with them getting Alex Len as their new center.

The Hornets tried overruling the rescinded trade, but the league denied their option.

According to ESPN’s Shams Charania, the Phoenix Suns have traded Jusuf Nurkic to the Charlotte Hornets to make a real attempt at beginning the process of getting below the second apron.

Phoenix needed to attach a 2026 first-round pick to move off the veteran center. This season, Nurkic is making $18.1 million. Next season, he’ll be on an expiring contract, making $19.3 million.

The Hornets have traded Cody Martin, Vasilije Micic, and a 2026 second-round pick to the Suns. Both players are seen as potential bench players for Phoenix.

If the Suns were to part ways with both these players in the offseason, it would help reduce their tax bill and potentially go under the second apron.

Brandon Miller (Wirst) Out For Remainder Of Season

According to the Charlotte Hornets, they will be without their second-leading scorer due to wrist surgery to repair a torn scapholunate ligament in his right wrist.

Brandon Miller had a phenomenal season, but it got cut short after suffering the injury on Wednesday against the Utah Jazz. Initially, it was listed as a wrist sprain. It has evolved into something more serious.

In 27 games this season, the 22-year-old balled out. He averaged 21.0 points, 4.9 rebounds, and 3.6 assists in 34.2 minutes. Most noticeably, Miller notched career-highs in points per game and assists per game.
