Nuggets coach Michael Malone apologizes for leadership comments

Nuggets coach Michael Malone apologized on Thursday for comments he made about the lack of veteran leadership on his team after Tuesday night’s loss at home to Sacramento.

“The only thing I’ll say regarding that – and I apologize to our veterans – anything that’s going on in our locker room should be left in the locker room,” he said prior to the Nuggets’ game against San Antonio Thursday night. “So I failed in that regard the other night. I let my frustrations after that loss get the best of me.”

Malone was upset at his team’s lack of effort in a 120-113 loss to the Kings.
