The New Orleans Pelicans are hiring James Borrego as associate head coach.

Borrego, who was the head coach for the Charlotte Hornets from 2018 to 2022, turned down several other opportunities to be a top assistant to take the job with the Pelicans.
Borrego led the Hornets to a 43-39 record in 2021-22 and back-to-back trips to the play-in tournament but was let go in April 2022.

Phoenix Suns associate head coach Kevin Young is staying with the franchise on a new deal worth more than $2 million annually that'll make him the NBA's highest-paid assistant coach.

The Suns were determined to keep Young on new coach Frank Vogel's staff and made a significant commitment to keep him from following former coach Monty Williams to the Detroit Pistons, sources said.
