For a second consecutive offseason, Brett Brown is losing a member of his staff. Assistant coach Chad Iske is leaving the Sixers to become the associate head coach on George Karl's bench in Sacramento, according to an NBA source.

Adrian Wojnarowski of Yahoo! Sports first reported the story.

Before joining Brown's staff in the fall of 2013, Iske spent 14 years with the Nuggets organization, working his way up from a scout to becoming an assistant coach under Karl in 2008.

The Nuggets fired Karl in June of 2013 despite his winning 57 games that season and the NBA Coach of the Year Award.

The Kings hired Karl in February to take over for then interim head coach Ty Corbin. At the time, Karl made only one change to the coaching staff, adding former Sixers special assistant coach Vance Walberg, who had previously been an assistant with Karl in Denver as well.

Last offseason, assistant coach Greg Foster left Brown's staff to join Jason Kidd's staff in Milwaukee.
