The Rio Grande Valley Vipers had to find a replacement for the post of “head coach” after the “departure” of Mahmoud Abdelfattah, who joined the staff of Stephen Silas in the first team. The G-League franchise affiliated with the Houston Rockets has chosen Kevin Burleson, who has served as an assistant for Wolves since 2019.
A former leader with Germany, Romania, Egypt, the G-League and the Charlotte Bobcats in 2005/06 (1.8 points and 1.2 assists on average in 39 games played), Kevin Burleson began his career as a assistant in 2017 on the bench of the Iowa Wolves (G-League). He was then an assistant for the Memphis Grizzlies in 2018/19 before returning to the Wolves first team.
