Michael Malone

Denver Nuggets owner Josh Kroenke offered a candid reflection on the team’s decision to part ways with head coach Michael Malone and general manager Calvin Booth last week.

NBA fans were shocked when the Denver Nuggets abruptly fired head coach Michael Malone with just three games left in the regular season — and it appears Malone was just as blindsided.

Now, emerging reports suggest that Malone’s handling of Russell Westbrook may have played a key role in his dismissal.

Jokic silences doubters and fires up the Nuggets right on cue for the playoffs.

Malone had been the only head coach Nikola Jokic had known in the NBA — until now. But it appears that their long-standing partnership may have reached its end.

Malone, who led Denver to a 2023 championship and has a contract through 2027, has earned a solid footing.

Malone was visibly frustrated following Sunday’s devastating season-ending loss.

Malone, clearly agitated, confronted the officials during the subsequent timeout, reportedly using explicit language towards referee Aaron Smith.

Murray was notably absent from this year’s NBA All-Star Game roster, sparking comments from his coach Michael Malone.

“I don’t know how you go from being active, available, to out. I’m sure the league will do their due diligence. Because that’s frowned upon.”

Wes Unseld Jr., was treated unfairly during his tenure with the Washington Wizards.

Malone was first to exit after receiving two technical fouls with just 1:21 remaining in the game.
