CLEVELAND – The Cavaliers have fired coach Tyronn Lue after a 0-6 start.
Assistant Larry Drew was named interim head coach.
Lue guided the Cavaliers to an NBA title in 2016 and helped the team to four straight Finals.
But in their first season since LeBron James left as a free agent, the Cavaliers are off to their worst start since losing their first seven games in the 1995-96 season.
General manager Koby Altman says the team felt it “needed a different voice and approach.”
