"The organization has determined that the goal of building a winning team is best served by making this decision at this time," the Clippers said in a statement on their website (www.nba.com/clippers).
"The team has simply not made sufficient progress during Dunleavy's seven-year tenure. The Clippers want to win now."
The Clippers are 12th in the Western conference with a 25-39 record and with a 113-87 loss at Orlando on Tuesday are mired in a four-game losing skid.
