The Denver Nuggets are one of five teams that doesn\u2019t have an official head coach right now, if one counts the San Antonio Spurs.<\/p>\n
Of those five teams, the Nuggets are just one of just three teams that made it to the postseason without one. The Memphis Grizzlies, who\u2019ll play a do-or-die Play-In game on Friday, fired Taylor Jenkins and promoted Tuomas Iisalo to interim head coach<\/a>. The Sacramento Kings, who were eliminated from the playoffs<\/a> after losing to the Dallas Mavericks in the Play-In Tournament, fired Mike Brown and gave Doug Christie the interim tag.<\/p>\n Unlike the Grizzlies or perhaps even the Kings, the Nuggets don\u2019t have to wonder whether they have the right man for the job.<\/p>\n David Adelman has been everything that the Nuggets could\u2019ve asked for since he took over for Michael Malone. Sure, his 3-0 record to close out the season was nice. However, what Adelman did in that three-game stretch was even more important.<\/p>\n When Adelman praises Nikola Jokic<\/a>, he\u2019s only further ingratiating himself with the franchise\u2019s superstar and fan base. He\u2019s also given Jamal Murray<\/a> \u2014who\u2019s long been Jokic\u2019s sidekick \u2014a glowing review<\/a>. To be clear, Malone had done this with both players.<\/p>\n David Adelman on Nikola Jokic:<\/p>\n “I’ve been around special players, I’ve never seen any player like him. The work he puts in away from it. Just how systematic he is, professional, no wasted steps.<\/p>\n He is absolutely the most impressive basketball player I’ve ever seen.”#Nuggets<\/a> pic.twitter.com\/E4Hd6vGGcc<\/a><\/p>\n \u2014 Joel Rush (@JoelRushNBA) April 13, 2025<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\nDavid Adelman’s Mindset Proves He’s Right Coach For Nuggets<\/h2>\n
