Michael Malone was fired by the Nuggets with three games left in the regular season and will now join ESPN to participate in the broadcast of the Western Conference Finals.

The series will start on Tuesday night local time, with the Timberwolves vs. The Thunder eliminated Malone's former boss Nuggets in the second round of seven games.
