Former Denver Nuggets head coach Michael Malone is eager to continue his coaching career following his surprising dismissal just days before the end of the 2024-25 regular season.
“I’m definitely not done coaching. Coaching is in my blood,” Malone told NBA on ESPN. “I got that from my father. And I’m excited to get back, coaching on those sidelines and teaching once again.”
He added, “I love my wife, I love my kids, I love my dogs, but I do miss being part of that team camaraderie, locker room atmosphere. And I look forward to getting back to that.”
