The Sacramento Kings fired coach Luke Walton on Sunday, sources told ESPN.
The Kings have lost seven of eight games and dropped to 6-11 on season -- leaving them 12th in the Western Conference.
Kings associate head coach Alvin Gentry -- a five-time head coach in the NBA -- is expected to be a strong candidate to serve as interim head coach.
Walton was 68-93 in two-plus seasons as Kings coach.
