The Suns hired Frank Vogel in June 2023 on a deal worth a reported $31 million over five years. He did lead the team to the playoffs with a 49-33 record in the regular season, but a first-round sweep at the hands of the Minnesota Timberwolves led to his firing.

The Suns made the unsurprising announcement on Monday, one day after the franchise finished with a 36-46 record, missing the play-in tournament by losing nine of their last 10 games.

Mike Budenholzer, who is a 2-time Coach of the Year winner, is out in Phoenix after 1 season. The Phoenix Suns will be searching for a new coach again in the offseason after firing coach Mike Budenholzer.
