JAKARTA - Brooklyn Nets made a big decision at the start of the 2022-2023 NBA season. Steve Nash was kicked out of the coaching chair.

Nash is considered to have failed to improve the performance of the team that slumped at the bottom of the eastern standings. His position has been in danger since the 1116-125 defeat at home to the Indiana Pacers last Saturday.

On Tuesday, November 1, American time, the Nets announced the termination of cooperation with Nash. The Phoenix Suns legend's tenure only lasted two years.

"We want to thank Steve for everything he has done over the last two seasons," said Nets general manager Sean Marks, in a statement quoted via Antara, Wednesday, November 2.

Marks said this was a difficult decision. However, this step must be taken after going through several considerations and evaluations.

"We agree that changes are needed at this time," said Marks.

Reportedly, the Nets are looking at Ime Udoka to replace Nash. Udoka is the head coach of the Boston Celtics, but is currently serving sanctions from the club.

The Celtics have reportedly invited the Nets to sign their coach. In fact, they will not ask for any compensation.

Udoka actually had brilliant achievements on the pitch. While making his head coach debut last year, former assistant Gregg Popovich to successfully bring the Celtics into the NBA final.

Unfortunately, the note was tarnished by his behavior off the field. He was sanctioned for allegedly having consensual sex with one of the Celtics staff.
