Suns' Coaching Shake-Up: Williams Out, Lue and Nurse Considered.
TL;DR Summary
Phoenix Suns owner Mat Ishbia made the decision to fire head coach Monty Williams "immediately after" Phoenix's Game 6 blowout loss to the Denver Nuggets on Thursday, according to ESPN's Adrian Wojnarowski. The decision was an organizational one, with input from management and players including Devin Booker and Kevin Durant. The Suns are now searching for a new coach, with Tyronn Lue and Nick Nurse among the top candidates. The coaching search could impact the future of players like Chris Paul and Deandre Ayton. There is no formal role for Isiah Thomas, a friend of Ishbia's, in the Suns organization at this time.
