Clippers hire Del Negro as their new coach

Associated Press
Published | Updated

LOS ANGELES (AP) — The Los Angeles Clippers have introduced Vinny Del Negro as their coach, two months after he was fired by the Chicago Bulls.

He takes over a Clippers team that went 29-53 last season and missed the playoffs for the 15th time in 17 years.

Del Negro on Wednesday replaced Kim Hughes, who finished the season as interim coach after Mike Dunleavy stepped aside in February to focus on his GM duties before leaving for good in March.

Del Negro coached two seasons in Chicago, compiling an 82-82 overall record and leading the team to consecutive playoff appearances before being fired in May. Though he got Chicago back on track after a poor start last season, he feuded with team president John Paxson, and the two had a postgame altercation on March 30.
