The Portland Trail Blazers have mutually agreed to part ways with Head Coach Terry Stotts according to Adrian Wojnarowski of ESPN. The move comes after the Blazers fell 4-2 to the Denver Nuggets in the 2021 NBA Playoffs. Stotts and the Blazers were coming off a 42-30 record, good for the 6th seed in the Western Conference Playoffs Bracket, but the first-round exit wasn’t enough to preserve his position.
Stotts joined the Blazers in 2012, the hire of then-incoming General Manager Neil Olshey. Stotts had spent two seasons apiece with the Atlanta Hawks and Milwaukee Bucks, never having experienced a winning season.
