According to ESPN's Shams Charania (on Friday), the Kings have fired head coach Mike Brown.

Via Charania: "Kings fire Mike Brown in the midst of a five-game losing streak, 12 of last 17, and have lost an NBA-high 13 clutch time games this season. Brown won Coach of the Year in 2022-23 when he led the Kings to the postseason, snapping a U.S. sports-record 17-year playoff drought."
