Cavaliers Fire J.B. Bickerstaff As Head Coach
The Cleveland Cavaliers have parted ways with J.B. Bickerstaff as head coach.
Bickerstaff led the Cavaliers to a first round series win over the Orlando Magic, but were eliminated in the second round by the Boston Celtics in five games.
Shortly after the Cavaliers lost Game 5 to the Celtics, a report from The Athletic detailed why the franchise was considering a coaching change this offseason.
Bickerstaff was elevated to head coach of the Cavaliers in 2020 following the resignation of John Beilein.
