The Nets have fired head coach Kenny Atkinson, after he helped rebuild the roster and culture that the team hasn’t seen in roughly a decade.
They did so to essentially find a coach that’s a better fit to manage the ball-dominant skill sets and ego-driven personalities of Kevin Durand and Kyrie Irving. And given what Atkinson did for the team, it’s a big leap of faith, and the Nets are betting big on their two currently-injured stars — neither of which will play during the remainder of this season.
KD does appear to be moving well, though, and he’s regaining his leaping ability, according to a recent video, which shows him driving to the basket, then finishing with a massive dunk at the rim during a scrimmage.
