Boston Celtics lead assistant coach Charles Lee is the new head coach of the Charlotte Hornets, the team announced Thursday. Lee has agreed on a four-year contract, per ESPN, and will join the team following the Celtics’ run in the 2024 NBA playoffs.
Before the 39-year-old Lee joined Boston as the top assistant under Joe Mazzulla last summer, he worked for five years under Mike Budenholzer with the Bucks and was on the staff when Milwaukee won the 2021 NBA Finals.
Lee replaces Steve Clifford, who stepped down at the end of the season but has stayed with the organization in a front-office role. The Hornets are coming off a dismal 21-61 season.
