Stotts was hired to be the team’s head coach in 2012 after previously serving as the assistant coach for the Dallas Mavericks.
Under Stotts, the Trail Blazers have made the playoffs in each of their past six seasons. The Trail Blazers’ appearance in the Western Conference finals was the first since 2000.
