Out of magic.

Scott Brooks out as head coach of the Washington Wizards, though this is being presented as an inability to negotiate a new contract instead of a firing.

He was 183-207 over five years. The Wizards actually made the playoffs this year:

The short postseason run, which marked a return to the playoffs for the first time since the 2017-18 season, was viewed within the organization as a triumph. Nearly everyone around the NBA had counted out Washington after injuries and a coronavirus outbreak within the roster forced the team to pause its season for nearly two weeks in January. But behind Russell Westbrook’s late-season explosion, Bradley Beal’s consistently impressive scoring and improved team defense, the Wizards closed the regular season with a 17-6 record and came out of the league’s inaugural play-in tournament to clinch the eighth seed in the playoffs.

They lost in the first round to Philadelphia.
