Report: Phoenix Suns dismiss Monty Williams as head coach
Nurse coached the Raptors to an NBA title in 2019 while Budenholzer did the same in Milwaukee in 2021. Both parted ways with those respective teams after their seasons ended this year.
The Suns have fallen short of expectations after reaching the 2021 finals under Williams, a two-time National Basketball Coaches Association coach of the year . They were the No. 1 overall seed last season when losing to Dallas in seven games of the West semifinals.This year, the Suns traded for Kevin Durant in a blockbuster deal that made them one of the favorites to win the franchise its first NBA championship this year. They instead fell to the No.
Then Phoenix traded for Chris Paul, who Williams coached in New Orleans. The Suns reached the finals for the third time in franchise history, but lost to the Bucks in six games.
