Los Angeles Lakers coach Mike Brown has been fired after a disappointing 1-4 start to the season, the team announced on Friday.
"I have great respect for the Buss family and the Lakers' storied tradition and I thank them for the opportunity they afforded me," Brown said in a statement. "I have a deep appreciation for the coaches and players that I worked with this past year and I wish the organization nothing but success as they move forward."
Assistant coach Bernie Bickerstaff will take over as interim coach for Friday night's home game against the Warriors.
