The Denver Nuggets have relieved Head Coach Michael Malone of his duties, effective immediately. David Adelman will assume the head coaching role for the remainder of the 2024-25 season. The decision was made with the intention of giving the team the best chance to compete for the 2025 NBA Championship.
Coach Malone’s departure is a necessary step to allow the team to maintain high standards, which remains in place despite his record-breaking 10-year tenure with the franchise. His contributions since joining the Nuggets in 2015 have been invaluable, setting an all-time wins record and helping deliver Denver its first championship.
The team would like to express gratitude for Coach Malone’s service, particularly during the most successful decade in Nuggets history. His legacy will be honored for years to come.
