BREAKING NEWS: The Suns have fired head coach Mike Budenholzer.
He marks the third Suns head coach fired in the two-plus seasons since owner Mat Ishbia took over.
It comes as the Suns took a step back for the third consecutive season, with a 36-46 record and missing the play-in and playoff rounds.
And it signals that more changes could be coming after a report of Budenholzer not seeing eye-to-eye with star Devin Booker followed by Phoenix nearly pulling off a trade that would have sent Kevin Durant to the Golden State Warriors at the Feb. 6 deadline.
