The Minnesota Timberwolves fired head coach Ryan Saunders after Sunday night's defeat to the New York Knicks.
The 103-99 loss was the club's eighth in nine games and the side has won just seven games this season.
Minnesota said firing Saunders was a "difficult decision" and that they would make an announcement about their new coach on Monday.
