Nuggets Fire Coach Of The Year Karl
DENVER (AP) The starless Denver Nuggets just lost their biggest name on the bench.
George Karl was ousted Thursday less than a month after winning the NBA's Coach of the Year award. His tenure with the Nuggets is over after 8 1/2 seasons.
The longtime coach is following general manager Masai Ujiri out the door in Denver after Ujiri, the league's executive of the year, recently left to become GM of the Toronto Raptors.
