James Borrego is reportedly staying put after missing out on the New York Knicks' head coaching job. According to SNY's Ian Begley and Fred Katz of The Athletic, Borrego is returning to the New Orleans Pelicans next season after serving as their associate head coach last season.

Borrego is under contract with the Pelicans. Before the Knicks pursued him, the Denver Nuggets saw him as a candidate to be David Adelman's lead assistant, but New Orleans saw it as a lateral move and denied them permission to interview him,
