Despite the persistent struggles of the Cavaliers in 2018, the franchise has no plans to fire Tyronn Lue.

"We are not firing our head coach," one Cavaliers official told ESPN late Saturday night.

Lue has expressed frustration with the team, describing the Cavaliers to ESPN's Lisa Salters at halftime of Saturday's loss as "soft, weak, no physicality, no toughness, no grit."

Lue signed a five-year, $35 million extension in 2016.
