After going 0-6 at the start of the season, the Cleveland Cavaliers decided to part ways with head coach Tyronn Lue.
The 41-years-old coach took over reigns from David Blatt in 2016. He took the LeBron James-led Cavs to three consecutive NBA finals, bringing the first-ever NBA title to Cleveland in 2016.
According to Adrian Wojnarowski, the club will offer assistant coach Larry Drew the position of an interim coach with a possibility of a long-term appointment.
