J. B. Bickerstaff is no longer the head coach of the Cleveland Cavaliers, according to well-informed American journalists and insiders.
Adrian Wojnarowski of ESPN was the first to report that the Cavaliers decided to part ways with the strategist. Shortly after, information emerged regarding the first candidates to succeed him. These candidates include Kenny Atkinson, an assistant with the Golden State Warriors, and James Borrego, an associate head coach with the New Orleans Pelicans. This information was reported by Shams Charania.
J. B. Bickerstaff led the Cleveland Cavaliers to 99 regular-season victories over the past two years. This season, they recorded 48 wins and were eliminated in the Eastern Conference semifinals by the Boston Celtics.
He spent four years in Ohio and had previously been an assistant with several NBA teams. His best season was last year when his team won 51 games. However, they were eliminated in the first round of the playoffs by the New York Knicks.
