According to ESPN's Adrian Wojnarowski, Beilein and his team had a discussion about whether John will continue or not and the decision was made on Tuesday. He will leave on Wednesday.

The past season has been quite terrible for the Cleveland and even for John's impeccable standard as a coach. With 14-40, the team is in the bottom of the Eastern Conference. Furthermore, veterans like Kevin Love and Tristan Thompson even planned a mid-season exit.

Beilein joined the club back in May 2019 with a yearly payment of nearly $4 million. As John is exiting, the portion of his salary from this year will be given to him.
