Are the Kings throwing in the towel? Doug Christie will finish the season as interim coach

This week, Sacramento Kings put an end to Mike Brown's tenure as the team's head coach. Despite winning the NBA Coach of the Year award in 2023, things have not gone well in the last 2 seasons.

In fact, the Kings are currently 12th and have a streak of 6 consecutive losses (Brown was not present in the latest). The team is not functioning and has appointed Doug Christie as the interim coach.

Usually, such decisions are made to search for a new candidate for the head coaching position. However, the Sacramento Kings have decided to stick with Christie as interim until the end.

Have they given up? Normally one would say yes. Nevertheless, there are precedents where teams perform much better with interim coaches. Just look at Joe Mazzulla who took over the Celtics as an interim after Ime Udoka's dismissal. The rest is history.
