Suns’ Monty Williams named head coach for Team LeBron at 2022 NBA All-Star game

Phoenix Suns head coach Monty Williams will be the head man for Team LeBron at the 2022 NBA All-Star game.

Williams has helped guide the red-hot Suns to a 40-9 record, the best in the league and, of course, Western Conference.

The head coach with the best record by Feb. 6 receives this nod, and Williams and the Suns are assured of having a better record than the second-place Golden State Warriors by that date.

Los Angeles Lakers star LeBron James was named a captain and starter last week after finishing No. 1 in the Western Conference fan voting, making it the fifth straight year he will captain a team.

Brooklyn Nets star Kevin Durant is the captain for the Eastern Conference, but the race for the best record by Feb. 6 is not settled.

The 2022 All-Star game will take place in Cleveland on Sunday, Feb. 20.
