A look inside the divided culture that smoldered and stretched into the Nuggets locker room and ultimately cost Michael Malone and Calvin Booth their jobs.

The Denver Nuggets made a shocking decision with the firing of head coach Michael Malone with just three games remaining in the season. The Nuggets are also in the midst of a four-game skid as they try and hang on to a top four seed in the Western Conference standings.

With just a few games left in the schedule, the Denver Nuggets are 48-32. Furthermore, they own the No. 4 seed in the West but are just one game behind the No.

Although there are rumors that Nikola Jokic will sign an extension with the Denver Nuggets this summer, the three-time MVP could surprisingly demand a trade following Michael Malone's head-scratching dismissal.

Nikola Jokic had his 32nd triple-double of the season with 20 points, 12 rebounds and 11 assists and Denver beat the Sacramento Kings 124-116 on Wednesday night in the Nuggets' first game since head coach Michael Malone was fired.

In his post-game interview after the Nuggets secured their first win in the post-Michael Malone era, DeAndre Jordan addressed the rumors of a rift in the team with Michael Porter Jr. allegedly being left out of a team dinner that was paid for by starting shooting guard Christian Braun and revealed how it was just a joke.

Michael Malone and GM Calvin Booth have been shockingly let go by the Denver Nuggets with just days left in the regular season, but stars like Jamal Murray and Michael Porter Jr. also shoulder some of the blame.

The Nuggets clean house, firing Malone and general manager Calvin Booth and tap the son of former Trail Blazers coach Rick Adelman to coach the team on an interim basis.
