The Atlanta Hawks dismissed head coach Nate McMillan, the team announced Tuesday.
Assistant coach Joe Prunty will replace McMillan on an interim basis.
Atlanta will commence a search for a new full-time head coach immediately, sources told ESPN's Adrian Wojnarowski. The team's brass is reportedly prioritizing a bench boss who excels in player development and accountability, as well as one who can improve the Hawks into a top-10 team both offensively and defensively.
