After a successful stint as interim coach, David Adelman was officially named head coach of the Denver Nuggets, a decision supported by players like Nikola Jokic, Aaron Gordon, and Jamal Murray, who praised his impact on team energy and performance. Vice chairman Josh Kroenke initially planned to search externally for a coach but decided Adelman was the right fit after witnessing the team’s improvement, including a playoff run that saw them push the Thunder to seven games. Adelman, who had previously served as an assistant coach and has a notable coaching lineage, embraced the opportunity to lead the team full-time.
