The Phoenix Suns have had a rocky marriage with head coach Mike Budenholzer. That marriage may be headed toward divorce. A new rumor says the Suns may be parting ways with the coach after this year, per The Stein Line Substack account.

Phoenix brought in Mike Budenholzer from the Milwaukee Bucks in hopes of turning the ship around, but it has only gone further in the wrong direction. That's why Bleacher Report writer Eric Pincus believes that Budenholzer could be on the hot seat this offseason.

The Phoenix Suns will miss the playoffs for the first time since the 2019-20 season. The immediate storyline is the future of coach Mike Budenholzer.
