The Phoenix Suns are looking to replace Mike Budenholzer, who was fired after one season. Here's what to know about the finalists.

It appears the Suns will do the same thing with their head coach. Multiple reports have indicated that the Suns have narrowed their search for a new head coach down to five finalists, each of whom would be a first-time head coach in the league.

Built around the star power of Kevin Durant, Devin Booker and Bradley Beal, the Suns this season had the league’s most expensive roster. But they went 36-46, missing the playoffs for the first time since the 2019-20 season.
