Brown led the Kings' most successful era since the early 2000s. But tension built over a nightmare homestand, leading to Friday's dismissal.

According to ESPN’s Shams Charania, Sacramento fired head coach Mike Brown on Friday. Now, the Kings must regroup with an interim head coach amidst rampant rumors surrounding De’Aaron Fox’s long-term future with the franchise.

Kings interim coach Doug Christie got his first win at the helm Monday, 110-100 over the Mavericks, a victory that meant just as much to the team's season as it did to him personally.
