The Memphis Grizzlies have fired coach Marc Iavaroni after a lackluster 11-30 start.
Team spokesman Dustin Krugel confirmed Iavaroni's dismissal Thursday night but would not say who would coach the Grizzlies on Friday night against the Knicks. General manager Chris Wallace was traveling to New York.
Iavaroni -- who played at the University of Virginia 1975-78 and went on to an 11-year NBA playing career -- coached the Grizzlies to a 22-60 record last season -- his first as an NBA head coach.
The Grizzlies are the seventh team to fire their coach this season, following Washington, Toronto, Sacramento, Philadelphia, Oklahoma City and Minnesota.
