David Adelman is officially dropping interim from his title.
Adelman has been named the permanent head coach of the Denver Nuggets on Thursday, officially succeeding Michael Malone, who was fired just days ahead of the NBA playoffs in April. Adelman led the Nuggets through the remainder of the regular season, where they went 3-0, and a playoff series win over Kawhi Leonard and the Los Angeles Clippers in seven games.
The Nuggets were one win shy of advancing to the Western Conference Finals, ultimately losing to the Oklahoma City Thunder in the conference semifinals in seven games.
