Malone, 53, is the winningest coach in franchise history since being hired in 2015, and he led the Nuggets to the 2023 NBA championship.

Malone has finished his head coaching job in Denver at 471-327 record over 10 seasons.

This is the second late-season firing in the NBA after the Memphis Grizzlies parted ways with Taylor Jenkins.
