The Oklahoma City Thunder fired coach Scott Brooks after a season in which they finished one win out of the playoffs and Kevin Durant missed 55 games due to injury.
Thunder General Manager Sam Presti said it was an “extremely difficult decision” to part ways with Brooks, who had a 338-207 record over the past seven seasons, was named the National Basketball Association’s Coach of the Year in 2009-10 and guided the team to the 2012 NBA Finals.
