Ty Lue Reportedly to Be Fired as Cavaliers Head Coach After 3 Seasons

Tyronn Lue's time with the Cleveland Cavaliers will reportedly be cut short.

According to Shams Charania of The Athletic, the Cavaliers will fire Lue after an 0-6 start to the regular season. Charania added that Cavaliers players were informed of the decision to move on from Lue, while Adrian Wojnarowski of ESPN reported Larry Drew would be promoted to interim head coach.

He finished his two-and-a-half seasons in Cleveland with a .607 winning percentage and a 41-20 record in the playoffs.

Lue took over as Cleveland's head coach after David Blatt was fired midway through the 2015-16 season, and he helped lead the franchise to its first title with a dramatic 3-1 NBA Finals comeback against the Golden State Warriors.
