Kings hire ex-Grizzlies coach Joerger
Print Edition
TWO days after being jettisoned by the Memphis Grizzlies, Dave Joerger has landed in Sacramento as the latest coach looking to end the Kings’ decade-long NBA playoff drought.
Joerger replaces George Karl and becomes the Kings’ ninth coach since the team went to the playoffs in 2006 under Rick Adelman. “He is a strong and passionate leader with a proven track record of producing results,” general manager Vlade Divac said on Monday. Joerger went 147-99 in three seasons with the Grizzlies and took them to the playoffs each year. He led the injury-hit team to 42 wins this season, pushing them to the playoffs where they were swept by the San Antonio Spurs in the first round. The Kings went 33-49 last season and Karl clashed with ownership, Divac, and All-Star DeMarcus Cousins in his lone full season on the job. Karl was hired in February 2015 to replace Tyrone Corbin and had a 44-68 record.
