Monty Williams Fired as Head Coach of the Phoenix Suns

Suns Underwhelm in Williams' Tenure

The Phoenix Suns have fired head coach Monty Williams, the team announced on Saturday. The firing comes two years after the Suns reached the NBA Finals and a year after Williams was the overwhelming choice for the league's Coach of the Year.

Disappointing Season

The Suns finished the 2022-23 season with a disappointing 32-50 record, missing the playoffs and failing to meet expectations. The team struggled with injuries and poor defensive performances throughout the season.

Suns Future in Doubt

Williams' firing leaves the Suns' future in doubt. The team has a talented roster led by Devin Booker, but it remains to be seen if they can find a coach who can unlock their potential and lead them back to the playoffs.
