Despite clinching a spot in the postseason via the play-in tournament for the second consecutive season, the Hornets lost 132–103 to the Atlanta Hawks, and have not played in the playoffs since 2016.
After failing to make the playoffs in his four seasons as head coach, James Borrego was fired at the end of the season. He posted a 138–163 (.458) record during his tenure with the Hornets.
With the Memphis Grizzlies winning the Southwest Division title for the first time in Grizzlies' franchise history, Charlotte is now the only NBA franchise to have never won a division title, having gone 32 seasons without winning a division title since the franchise began play in the 1988–89 season.
