Despite playing some of the NBA's most exciting basketball this season, the Sacramento Kings fired coach Dave Joerger on Thursday. The decision came as a surprise as the Kings had shown plenty of improvement this season, although Marc Stein of The New York Times is reporting that the team may turn to Luke Walton:

The Kings just announced that, as suggested here yesterday, they have indeed extended GM Vlade Divac's contract through 2022-23. Amid reports that Kings coach Dave Joerger's job is in jeopardy, league sources say that Sacramento would have interest in Luke Walton should they decide to go through with a coaching change

Walton is currently the head coach of the Lakers, however, after missing out on the playoffs for a third consecutive season -- Walton is expected to be fired in the coming weeks.
