CHARLOTTE, N.C. (AP) — The Charlotte Hornets are finalizing a deal to make Atlanta Hawks executive Dotun Akinwale their new assistant general manager, a person familiar with the situation told The Associated Press on Thursday.
The person spoke to the AP on condition of anonymity because details of the contract are still being worked out. A deal is expected to be announced in the next few days.
Akinwale will serve under Hornets new executive vice president of basketball operations Jeff Peterson, who was hired earlier in the week and introduced at a news conference on Wednesday.
