Denver Nuggets coach Michael Malone criticizes the Sacramento Kings for firing Mike Brown via phone call after a team practice, calling it a 'classless' and 'gutless' move.
Denver Nuggets head coach Michael Malone expressed his outrage over the Sacramento Kings firing Mike Brown , emphasizing the lack of respect shown to the former coach. Malone highlighted that Brown was informed of his dismissal via phone call after leaving a team practice and while en route to Los Angeles. Malone, who was fired by the Kings almost 10 years ago, criticized the Kings' decision as lacking class and guts.
He compared the situation to his own experience and expressed his disappointment with the way Brown was treated. Brown, who won NBA Coach of the Year in 2022-23, led the Kings to break a 16-year playoff drought but faced a regression in his second year. The Kings, currently with a 13-18 record, lost to the Pistons on Thursday night, contributing to Brown's dismissal despite signing a three-year extension in June
