Steve Nash is out as head coach of the Brooklyn Nets after a 2-5 start. The Nets won in Nash’s last game on Monday night against the Indiana Pacers. He is leaving the team just hours before they play the Chicago Bulls at home.
ESPN’s Adrian Wojnarowski said Nash has been fired, while Shams Charania of The Athletic the two sides have agreed to part ways. Either way, Nash’s tumultuous tenure as Nets head coach is over.
Jacque Vaughn will be Brooklyn’s acting head coach against the Bulls on Tuesday night, according to Charania.
