Breaking and shocking news has hit the NBA: The Denver Nuggets have fired Mike Malone. Yes, this stunning news is true.

Malone, who led the Nuggets to their first NBA championship in 2023 and helped turn Nikola Jokic into a powerhouse MVP, has been fired with just three games remaining in the season.

The Nuggets have been struggling as of late, losing four consecutive games. Still, to fire Malone at this point in the season doesn’t make a lot of sense. Malone has a record of 471-327 in 10 seasons as the Nuggets coach, making him the winningest coach in franchise history.

Lead assistant coach David Adelman is expected to serve as the team’s interim coach for the remainder of the season. Maybe this change will help the Nuggets gain new life and have a strong showing in the postseason.
