Assistant coach Tyrone Corbin will take over on an interim
basis for the Kings, who have lost their last three games.
"This was an extremely difficult decision, but one we feel is in
the best interest of the franchise moving forward," Kings
general manager Pete D'Alessandro said in a statement.
"Michael made significant contributions to the organization on
many levels and helped foster cultural changes that positively
impacted our team."
Malone compiled an overall record of 39-67 after taking over as
head coach in Sacramento before the 2013-14 season.
The Kings, who got off to a strong start this season with five
wins in their first six games, are 11th in the 15-team Western
Conference with an 11-13 record.
