NBA

The Sacramento Kings fired coach Luke Walton on Sunday, sources told ESPN.

The Kings have lost seven of eight games and dropped to 6-11 on season — leaving them 12th in the Western Conference.

Kings associate head coach Alvin Gentry — a five-time head coach in the NBA — is expected to be a strong candidate to serve as interim head coach.

Walton was 68-93 in two-plus seasons as Kings coach.
