Denver Nuggets head coach Mike Malone has been left with egg on his face after failing to keep Bruce Brown on the team, having bragged about him returning next season.
After playing an important role on the NBA championship winning team, Brown had been heading into free agency this summer - deserving of a new contract. Arguably the Nuggets best defensive player, Brown had been a hugely vital cog in the side, with Malone speaking openly about him returning.
On stage at the Nuggets championship parade, Malone said: "Ya'll tell me, is Brucey B going anywhere? Hell no, hell no - we're running this s*** back!"
