Cleveland Charge Hire Remix’s Eli Kell-Abrams as Head Coach

In June, Kell-Abrams had been named the lead assistant coach for the Remix — the Portland Trail Blazers’ G League affiliate — under newly hired head coach Jonah Herscu. Kell-Abrams spent the previous two seasons as the Blazers head video coordinator on head coach Chauncey Billups’ staff.

Now, Kell-Abrams is departing the Remix for a higher position with the Charge. He’ll be replacing previous Charge head coach Chris Darnell, who the Sacramento Kings hired as an assistant coach in May.

Before Kell-Abrams’ two seasons as a video coordinator with the Trail Blazers, he worked two seasons as the head video coordinator with the Philadelphia 76ers from 2021-23. He also spent three seasons with the Miami Heat as an assistant video coordinator (2019-21) and video intern (2018-19).
