The struggling Sacramento Kings fired assistant coach Vance Walberg on Wednesday in another sign of discord between the NBA team and head coach George Karl.

Walberg was a close ally of Karl, who took over in February last year.

"This was a tough decision made after consideration of what is best for the team moving forward," Kings general manager Vlade Divac said in a statement.

Sacramento (22-31) have lost eight of their past 10 games and are outside the Western Conference playoff spots.
