Malone coached the Nuggets for 10 seasons and led the team to a title in 2023, the first in franchise history. David Adelman, an assistant on Malone's staff, took over as interim coach following the longtime coach's sudden departure. The Nuggets finish their regular season Sunday against the Houston Rockets as they battle for playoff positioning.

In a shocking move, the Denver Nuggets announced the firing of head coach Michael Malone – who led the team to an NBA title two seasons ago. The team also announced it would not extend the contract of general manager Calvin Booth.

Nikola Jokic will average a triple-double for the season, making the Denver Nuggets star the third player in NBA history to pull off such a feat. It became statistically certain Friday night when Jokic got his fourth assist in the Nuggets' 117-109 win over the Memphis Grizzlies.

Even though the Denver Nuggets had a tough end to the regular season, Nikola Jokic kept shining. He showed once again that he can make a difference when it matters most. Thanks to his performance, he reached a major NBA milestone and added another highlight to his historic career.

Depending on how the franchise performs in the postseason, the Nuggets could face a challenging question regarding their superstar big man, Nikola Jokic. Should they continue to build around the three-time MVP?
