Kenny Atkinson spent one season on Steve Kerr’s staff after a stint as the head coach of the Brooklyn Nets.
BOSTON — The Warriors will lose a second assistant coach when the NBA Finals end.
Kenny Atkinson will be the new head coach of the Charlotte Hornets, signing a four-year deal, according to reports. Atkinson joined the Steve Kerr’s coaching staff this year as an assistant well-versed in analytics. After years as an NBA assistant, Atkinson was head coach of the Brooklyn Nets from 2016 to 2020, when Kevin Durant and Kyrie Irving joined the team. Before coming to Golden State, Atkinson was an assistant to Los Angeles Clippers head coach Tyronn Lue in 2021.
Now he replace fired coach James Borrego as head coach for a Hornets team brimming with young talent, including 20-year-old guard Lamelo Ball. Atkinson is the second Warriors assistant to take a vacant head coaching job. During the Western Conference semifinals series against Memphis, Mike Brown accepted the Sacramento Kings head coach position. Kerr tested positive for COVID the day Brown was officially hired, forcing Brown to take on acting head coach duties for Game 5 and the clinching Game 6.
