Mike Budenholzer was fired as head coach of the Phoenix Suns after one disappointing season where the team failed to make the playoffs, finishing with a 36-46 record. This bad season followed an optimistic start of 8-1 but was plagued by injuries, particularly to Bradley Beal. The organization stated that change was needed, as their goals were unmet, forcing them to part ways with Budenholzer, who had previously led the Milwaukee Bucks to an NBA Championship. His lack of stable rotation choices also contributed to the team's struggles.
The Suns missed the postseason, despite the presence of All-Stars such as Kevin Durant, Devin Booker, and Bradley Beal, finishing 11th in the Western Conference.
Change is needed. The move was unsurprising after the Suns lost nine of their last 10 games to post a 36-46 record.
Budenholzer was hired with hopes of bringing a championship to the desert but he failed to meet expectations.
After starting the season 8-1, the Suns experienced a significant decline in performance following Kevin Durant's injury.
