Consensus Among Nuggets Players

As per a new giving, NBA insider Tim MacMahon has divulged that the sacking of manager Michael Malone hasn't left any sadness in the squad, rather it has united them.

"I frankly haven't heard sadness that Michael Malone is no longer the Nuggets head coach. It's been pretty much a consensus that his time had come."

Many thought Malone's tenure with the Nuggets was nearing its end. Despite leading the team to the 2023 NBA championship, recent rumors suggest a divided locker room in Denver, fueling speculation about what turned out to be an eventuality.

Following the departure of Michael Malone, David Adelman has been given the helm to lead as the interim head coach. Denver Nuggets started the post-Malone era on a winning note. The team defeated the Sacramento Kings on Wednesday. 

Adelman faces a challenging task as interim head coach of the Nuggets, needing to adapt the team to his strategies in the playoffs. However, having been part of the existing staff, he's likely familiar with the team's dynamics, which should ease the transition.
