The Denver Nuggets have officially appointed David Adelman as their new head coach following his impressive interim performance this season. Adelman led the team to a 3-0 regular-season finish and a playoff series victory against the LA Clippers, ultimately falling to the Oklahoma City Thunder in the conference semifinals. Nuggets officials were particularly impressed with his ability to connect with core players during his previous eight seasons as an assistant. Team governor Josh Kroenke expressed pride in the team's response under Adelman, reflecting a strong belief in his capabilities moving forward.
Nuggets officials were impressed with Adelman's work under the circumstances this season, and moved swiftly to give him the full-time job, sources said.
Adelman, who turned 44 last week, had developed good relationships with Denver's core players during his eight seasons as an assistant coach before Malone was fired.
