Pistons will ‘strongly consider’ James Borrego as Monty Williams replacement
NY Post
James Borrego has emerged as an early candidate for the Pistons’ head coach opening.
Detroit will “strongly consider” Borrego, according to Yahoo Sports, after shockingly firing Monty Williams with more than $65 million left on his record six-year, $78.5 million contract on Wednesday.
Borrego, who was the head coach of the Hornets for four seasons from 2018-22, served as an associate head coach for the Pelicans last season.
The Pistons aren’t the first team this offseason to target Borrego.
Earlier this month, ESPN’s Brian Windhorst reported that Borrego was emerging as a favorite to replace J.B. Bickerstaff as the Cavaliers head coach.
“[James Borrego is] getting momentum in Cleveland,” Windhorst said on “Get Up” on June 10. “He’s expected to interview there early this week as a potential leading candidate developing with the Cavs.”

Cade Cunningham, almost inarguably the best player in the East this season, is likely out for the remainder of the regular season. That’s the word out of Detroit following the depressing news that Cunningham punctured a lung when he took a knee to his side Tuesday from Washington’s Tre Johnson while chasing a loose ball.

Wednesday was another positive day at Yankees camp. For the first time since March 6, 2025 — an outing in which he knew “something wasn’t right,” which began a weeks-long saga that ended on the operating table for Tommy John surgery — Gerrit Cole was back on a mound and facing hitters in game action.
