David Khan was fired as the president of basketball operations for the NBA's Minnesota Timberwolves on Thursday, the team announced two weeks after the end of a 31-51 season.

"These are always difficult decisions, but at this time, we believe it is in the best interest of our organization to make a change," Timberwolves owner Glen Taylor said.
