The Denver Nuggets today sent shockwaves through the NBA by firing the winningest coach in franchise history and 2023 NBA World Champion Mike Malone. The team has promoted its lead assistant David Adelman, son of Rick, to interim head coach. The team is currently riding a four game losing streak while its starting point guard Jamal Murray has been sidelined.
There have been moments when players have shown emotions on the sideline, with even normally calm Jokic displaying rare frustration recently while on the bench trying to sort out the Nuggets' struggles. The Nuggets have gone 11-13 since the All-Star break.
