The Oklahoma City Thunder have promoted assistant coach Mark Daigneault to head coach, according to ESPN's Adrian Wojnarowski.
Daigneault was an assistant coach for the Thunder throughout the 2019-20 season and was previously the head coach of Oklahoma City's G League affiliate, the Oklahoma City Blue, between 2014 and 2019. While with the Blue, he was 143-107 with four playoff appearances and eight players called up to NBA rosters.
The 35-year-old Daigneault replaces Billy Donovan, who parted ways with the Thunder shortly after the team's first-round playoff exit and was later hired as the next head coach of the Chicago Bulls.
