Overview
- New Orleans, which Dumars addressed Tuesday, will interview outside candidates and consider interim James Borrego, though he set no public shortlist or timeline.
- The Pelicans finished 26-56 after firing Willie Green at 2-10, and Borrego went 24-46 with the club going 10-24 in 34 games that were within five points in the final five minutes.
- Reports from HoopsHype, Bleacher Report and Hoops Rumors link Darvin Ham and Kevin Ollie to the job, with interest in Orlando’s Jamahl Mosley if he becomes available.
- Dumars praised Borrego’s communication and steadiness, and Zion Williamson said the interim coach made the most of a tough hand.
- The search unfolds during a busy coaching market that includes Milwaukee’s vacancy, which could affect who is available and how fast New Orleans moves.
