The Suns entered this season with championship expectations, especially after acquiring Bradley Beal last offseason. But the team was eliminated in the first round of the playoffs.
The Phoenix Suns entered the 2023-24 NBA season with hopes a roster featuring Kevin Durant, Devin Booker and Bradley Beal and 2020 NBA Finals-winning coach Frank Vogel was primed for a deep playoff run.
But Phoenix was swept in four games in the first round of the NBA playoffs. Less than two weeks after the early postseason exit, the Suns decided to fire Vogel after just one season.
« As we said at the press conference May 1, team leadership, including myself, Josh Bartelstein and ownership would be looking across basketball operations to determine what changes needed to be made, » Suns general manager James Jones said in a statement.
