THE Nuggets made the surprising decision to separate from the head coach Michael Malone and Managing Director Calvin stand Earlier this week. Denver has indeed informed his superstar Nikola Jokic This Malone, with whom Jokic had spent his entire career with, would not continue with the franchise, according to Ohm Youngmisuk d’Espn.

In the wake of the move, the Nuggets won a victory over the Kings, under the temporary coach David Adelman. According to Bennett Durando of the Denver Post, the coach staff tried to give players more flexibility to be communicative, in particular by explaining games and using the whiteboard during the team group.

“”I mean, when someone wants to wake up someone or change the energy, that’s probably what they do. In my country, if someone is fired … You are probably the next one (from). So I think it really changed something, and they had the reaction they likely wanted.“”
Jokic stressed that the change simply underlined the nature of the NBA and that the nuggets needed to quickly treat the movement with the playoffs. However, Jokic developed a close relationship with Malone and made sure to reach out to him and check him later.
