Steve Clifford Stepping Down As Head Coach Of The Hornets

According to ESPN’s Adrian Wojnarowski, the Charlotte Hornets will begin their head coach search earlier than expected after it’s been learned Steve Clifford is done coaching the team.

While the organization was open to the idea of him returning as coach next season, Clifford cited he didn’t have the commitment to return as head coach.

Jeff Peterson and co-owners Rick Schnall and Gabe Plotkin will transition the 62-year-old to a front-office position.

After coaching the Orlando Magic for three seasons, Clifford returned to the Hornets in 2022.

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.
