In a surprising twist just as the NBA playoffs loom, the Denver Nuggets have relieved head coach Michael Malone of his duties. After leading the team since 2015 and steering them to a historic championship in 2023, this decision marks the end of an era 🏀.
With the regular season winding down and four consecutive losses impacting their standings, the Nuggets are making a bold move to maximize their chances at the 2025 NBA Championship. David Adelman will now assume the head coaching role for the remainder of the 2024-25 season, promising fresh energy and new strategies.
The announcement also came with news that general manager Calvin Booth’s contract will not be extended—a decision amid criticism over some roster moves like the expensive Michael Porter Jr. contract extension. Team owner Josh Kroenke expressed deep gratitude for Malone’s contributions, acknowledging his role in recording the franchise’s most successful decade.
This shake-up reflects the Nuggets’ commitment to evolve and compete at the highest level. It’s a turning point that could spark a thrilling new era for the team. Stay tuned for what comes next! 🔥
