The Brooklyn Nets have fired Steve Nash after just over two years in charge following the team’s 2-5 start to the season. Here is the Statement from Sean Marks and Joe Tsai: 

“We want to thank Steve for everything he brought to our franchise over the past two-plus seasons,” said General Manager Sean Marks. “Since becoming head coach, Steve was faced a number of unprecedented challenges and we are sincerely grateful for his leadership, patience, and humility throughout his tenure. Personally, this was an immensely difficult decision; however, after much deliberation and evaluation of how the season has begun, we agreed that a change is necessary at this time. We wish Steve, Lilla, and their family all the best in the future.”

 

Brooklyn Nets Governor Joe Tsai said, “I’ve gotten to know Steve during his time in Brooklyn, and he is not one to shy away from challenges. My admiration and respect for him grew over time as he brought hard work and a positive attitude to our organization every day, even in periods of an exceptional storm surrounding the team. Clara and | want to thank Steve, Lilla, and their family for making this extraordinary commitment. We began this journey as colleagues, we part as friends.”
