The Phoenix Suns fired head coach Mike Budenholzer on Monday after the team went 36-46, failing to qualify for the postseason or NBA Play-In Tournament. Budenholzer lasted just one season with the Suns, who failed to return to the playoffs after winning 49 games and earning the sixth seed a season ago, even with the trio of Kevin Durant, Devin Booker and Bradley Beal on the team.
After firing Budenholzer, the Suns released an unusually cold statement explaining their decision to move on from the coach after one season.
