Suns fire head coach Monty Williams after four seasons: report

The Phoenix Suns and new owner Mat Ishbia have made the decision to move on from head coach Monty Williams, who was named Coach of the Year twice in his four seasons with the team.

The Phoenix Suns have fired head coach Monty Williams, according to ESPN. 

The Suns were expected to make a deep run in the Western Conference playoffs after finishing fourth in the regular season and adding one of the best scorers in the game, Kevin Durant, before the trade deadline. 

Instead, the Denver Nuggets, the No. 1 seed, handled the Suns in six games and advanced while Phoenix was sent home.
