The Denver Nuggets fire Championship-winning head coach Michael Malone with just three regular season games remaining, despite looking set to claim a play-off place.

With less than a week left in the regular season, Denver fired its head coach and GM, ending a yearslong cold war, and risking the NBA's most precious commodity: the prime of three-time NBA MVP Nikola Jokic.

When you take a larger macro view of the NBA coaching landscape, it's actually kind of wild how much turnover there's been in the last half-decade or so. With Malone's firing, the Warriors, San Antonio Spurs, and Miami Heat are the only NBA teams to not their fire coach since the start of the COVID-19 pandemic.
