Hornets extend GM Mitch Kupchak

Charlotte general manager Mitch Kupchak said Thursday that he has signed a multiyear extension with the Hornets.

Hired in 2018, Kupchak's contract was set to expire this summer.

"For better or for worse, I will be here for the next couple of years," said Kupchak, who didn't say how long the extension was for.

Kupchak, 67, is in the midst of a coaching search after firing James Borrego last month in a surprising move. Borrego took the Hornets to the play-in tournament for the second straight year. Charlotte increased its win total by 10 in each of the last two seasons under Borrego.
