The Charlotte Hornets signed head coach Charles Lee to a contract extension Thursday after the team delivered a 25-win improvement over the previous season.
The extension reflects the organization’s response to a sharp rise in results under Lee, whose team made one of the more notable year-over-year jumps in the league. Charlotte’s improved win total marked a significant step forward for a franchise that had been working to regain momentum.

By extending Lee, the Hornets have moved to maintain continuity on the bench following a season defined by progress in the win column. The decision comes after Charlotte finished the campaign with 25 more victories than it recorded the year before.
No additional terms of the contract extension were announced.
