Phoenix Suns Shake Things Up After Disappointing Season

July 13, 2025 - 22:42

The Phoenix Suns have been making headlines as one of the most dynamic teams in the NBA since the end of the regular season. Following a lackluster performance that saw the team finish with a 36-46 record and land as the No. 11 seed in the Western Conference, it became evident that owner Mat Ishbia was not satisfied with the team's trajectory.

In a swift move to reshape the franchise, the Suns announced the firing of head coach Mike Budenholzer just one day after the season concluded. This decision comes despite Budenholzer having four years and $40 million remaining on his contract, indicating a strong desire for change within the organization. The Suns are now faced with the challenge of finding a new head coach who can reinvigorate the team and lead them back to playoff contention.

As the offseason progresses, all eyes will be on the Suns to see how they will address their needs and whether they can turn around their fortunes in the upcoming season.
