Ernie Grunfeld has been fired as president of the Washington Wizards after 16 seasons in charge of the team.

The Wizards announced his dismissal on Tuesday with four games left in a disappointing, no-playoffs season.

Washington is 32-46 and in 11th place in the 15-team Eastern Conference.

The club went 568-724 during Grunfeld’s tenure with eight postseason appearances. But Washington never made it past the second round of the playoffs.

Owner Ted Leonsis said the Wizards “did not meet our stated goals of qualifying for the playoffs.” He also noted that the team dealt with “injuries to several key players” — most notably, John Wall, who had heel surgery and then ruptured his Achilles tendon.

Wall’s supermax contract will be the biggest challenge for Grunfeld’s successor to overcome. The $170 million deal does not even kick in till next season, which the 28-year-old will miss the start of following surgery.

Tommy Sheppard will take over Grunfeld’s duties for now and will be a candidate to replace him permanently.

Grunfeld was the Knicks’ general manager from 1989-99, when he was demoted and left for the Bucks.
