The Sacramento Kings have fired coach Mike Malone, according to sources.
Yahoo! Sports first reported news of Malone’s dismissal.
The Kings are off to an 11-13 start, but have lost eight of their last 10 — a swoon that has coincided with DeMarcus Cousins’ bout with viral meningitis.
Malone (39-67) was hired by Sacramento following the 2013 season.
The Kings next play Tuesday, when they host the Oklahoma City Thunder, who are tied with Sacramento for 10th in the West.
