From 2004 to 2006, he was a member of the New Jersey Nets, and from 2006 to 2009, he was a member of the San Antonio Spurs.
He also set an NBA record for consecutive missed field goal attempts to begin a season, missing his first 22 with the Atlanta Hawks in 2001. Following those 22 consecutive misses, he shot a career-high 47% that season.
From 2010 to 2012, he was an assistant coach for the Spurs before taking over as head coach of the Orlando Magic in 2012.
After the Nets and Steve Nash parted ways on November 1, 2022, Vaughn was named interim head coach; on November 9, he was named permanent head coach.
