He'll run practice on Tuesday and start coaching on Thursday vs. the Toronto Raptors, per the same report.

Kevin Ollie, who enjoyed a 13-year NBA playing career, achieved notable success as UConn's coach by securing the NCAA title in 2014. He joined the Nets this season after a two-year stint leading Overtime Elite.

This coaching shift comes on the heels of Brooklyn's decision to part ways with Jacque Vaughn mid-season, following a 21-33 record.

Currently positioned 11th in the Eastern Conference standings, the Nets are three wins away from the Play-In, with the Atlanta Hawks holding the 10th spot.
