It is reported that former Phoenix Suns point guard Steve Nash has been relieved of his duties as head coach of the Brooklyn Nets, according to ESPN’s Adrian Wojnarowski.
Nash initially took over Brooklyn in September of 2020 but was never able to capitalize on a plethora of talented veterans which included Kevin Durant, Kyrie Irving and James Harden among others.
During the summer, Durant requested a trade from the team and (reportedly) cited Nash’s presence as one reason why.
Eventually that subsided, but then the circus of Irving continued into the season, which recently again was put in the spotlight.
“I think the organization is trying to take that stance or they may communicate through this, and try to all come out in a better position and with more understanding and more empathy for every side of this debate and situation,” Nash said on Monday.
