These firings come amid a four-game losing streak but the the timing is still strange.
However, Kroenke stated this is a “necessary step” for the team to remain competitive and that the standards of winning a title “remain in place for the current season”.
Kroenke said: “It is with no pleasure that we announce that we have relieved Michael Malone of his head coaching duties, effectively [sic] immediately.
“There is no amount of gratitude that we can properly convey to his contributions since [Malone] joined our franchise in 2015.
Kroenke also praised Booth in his statement as he described him as an integral part behind the Nuggets’ NBA triumph back in 2023.
“Calvin’s knowledge of the game, his passion for scouting, and his long history as a player and executive in the NBA helped lift our organization to new heights which we will continue moving forward.
The Nuggets’ lead assistant coach David Adelman will serve as interim head coach for the rest of the season.
