Following a tumultuous summer in the organization, the Brooklyn Nets and head coach Steve Nash "have agreed to part ways" seven games into the 2022-23 NBA season, the team announced on Tuesday.
The Nets have underperformed since hiring Nash as a first-time coach in 2020, even if the Hall of Fame point guard does not bear full responsibility for the drama surrounding his team over the last three seasons.
Brooklyn's Kevin Durant reportedly issued an ultimatum to team owner Joe Tsai in August: Either grant his trade request or fire both Nash and general manager Sean Marks.
