The Brooklyn Nets fired head coach Jacque Vaughn on Monday after less than two seasons.
The Nets are currently 21-33, the 11th seed in the Eastern Conference amid the All-Star break. They lost five of their last six heading into All-Star weekend.
Brooklyn signed Vaughn to a multi-year contract extension in February 2023.
The team said an interim coach will be named "in the near future."
"This was an incredibly difficult decision, but one we feel is in the best interest of the team going forward," Nets general manager Sean Marks said in a statement. "Jacque has represented this organization with exemplary character and class for the past eight years. The consistent positivity and passion he poured into our team daily will remain with the players and staff he interacted with throughout his tenure."
