Borrego, 44, went 138-163 during his tenure in Charlotte and qualified as the No. 10 seed in each of the past two seasons. The Hornets made the play-in tournament, but were eliminated in the first game in each of the past two seasons.
With Borrego out, there are now three head coaching vacancies in the league: Los Angeles Lakers, Sacramento and Charlotte.
