2022–23 Charlotte Hornets season

The 2022–23 Charlotte Hornets season was the 33rd season of the franchise in the National Basketball Association (NBA). On April 22, 2022, the Charlotte Hornets fired head coach James Borrego after four years with the team with no playoff appearances.^[1] The Hornets failed to improve on their 43–39 record the previous season, with their 40th loss coming on February 5, to Orlando. Additionally, after the Sacramento Kings clinched a playoff spot on March 29, 2023, the Hornets currently hold the distinction for having the longest playoff drought in the NBA with 7 seasons, last clinching in 2016. This later became the final season of Michael Jordan being the majority owner of the Hornets, since he'd later become a minority owner of the team after selling his majority ownership to Gabe Plotkin and Rick Schnall in the month of August 2023.
