The Sacramento Kings fired coach Michael Malone late Sunday night just 24 games into his second season with the team.

A person with knowledge of the move confirmed the firing Sunday night on condition of anonymity because the team has not announced it yet. The firing was first reported by Yahoo Sports. A formal announcement was expected Monday.

Malone went 39-67 after being hired in June 2013 by new owner Vivek Ranadive. Malone was hired before general manager Pete D’Alessandro in what was considered an unusual order of events. Now D’Alessandro will get the opportunity to hire his own coach.

Lead assistant Tyrone Corbin will take over as interim coach, the person with knowledge of the moves said.
