Brooklyn Nets fire head coach Steve Nash after disappointing start to season | NBA News

The Brooklyn Nets have fired head coach Steve Nash after the team’s 2-5 start to the new NBA season.

Nash departs having been appointed as head coach in September 2020, since which he has won just one playoff round and amassed a record of 94-67.

“We want to thank Steve for everything he brought to our franchise over the past two-plus seasons,” said Nets General Manager Sean Marks.

“Since becoming head coach, Steve was faced with a number of unprecedented challenges, and we are sincerely grateful for his leadership, patience and humility throughout his tenure.

“Personally, this was an immensely difficult decision; however, after much deliberation and evaluation of how the season has begun, we agreed that a change is necessary at this time.

“We wish Steve, Lilla and their family all the best in the future.”
