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.

The fallout from the Sacramento Kings firing head coach Mike Brown is still taking shape, as the reaction around the league has been surprise -- or maybe not so surprised if you're Nuggets coach Michael Malone -- at the dismissal of the unanimous Coach of the Year just two seasons ago.
