The Denver Nuggets and assistant coach Adrian Dantley parted ways three days ago.

Dantley’s contract wasn't renewed by head coach George Karl.

Dantley took over the Nuggets’ head coaching duties for the final 17 games of the 2009-10 season when Karl began treatment for throat and neck cancer.

The Nuggets dropped seven of their final 13 regular season games before losing 4-2 in the first round of the playoffs to No. 5 seed Utah, which was without two injured starters.
