David Adelman promoted to full-time Nuggets coach after leading team to conference semifinals
May 22, 2025
The Denver Nuggets have named David Adelman their head coach, taking the interim tag off his title after he led them into the second round of the NBA playoffs. Adelman replaced Michael Malone on the eve of the playoffs and the Nuggets went 3-0 to close the regular season by avoiding the play-in. The Nuggets beat the Clippers in seven games and then lost to the Thunder in seven games in Round 2. The Nuggets still need to name a replacement for former general manager Calvin Booth, who was fired the same day Malone was let go.
