The New Orleans Pelicans have fired coach Alvin Gentry after the club missed the playoffs for the fourth time in his five seasons.
The Pelicans went 30-42 this season.
They finished with just two victories in their final eight games despite the presence of top overall draft choice Zion Williamson and first-time All-Star Brandon Ingram.
New Orleans' lone playoff appearance under Gentry came in the 2017-18 season.
