The Phoenix Suns are closing in on their next head coach, with Johnnie Bryant and Jordan Ott emerging as the two finalists from the Cleveland Cavaliers. Both coaches will meet with key Suns officials in Michigan to make their case for the job. Bryant and Ott have been instrumental in the Cavaliers' success this season, showcasing strong player development and a focus on both offensive and defensive efficiency. This decision marks an important step for the Suns, who have been deliberate in their coaching search after parting ways with former coach Mike Budenholzer.
Devin Booker has reportedly been involved in the coaching search process, underscoring the Suns' commitment to finding the right leader for their team. With the Cavaliers losing one of their top assistants to the Suns, the stakes are high for both Bryant and Ott as they vie for the coveted head coaching position. The Suns, who have had a revolving door of coaches in recent years, are seeking stability and a fresh start as they look to build on their 36-46 record from this season. Excitement is mounting as the Suns zero in on their next coaching hire, setting the stage for a new chapter in Phoenix basketball.
