The Phoenix Suns will open the preseason today against a familiar face in Monty Williams and the Detroit Pistons.
The Suns parted ways with Williams as their head coach just a day after they fell to the Denver Nuggets in the second round of the playoffs.
Williams had helped take the Suns to new heights in his tenure in Phoenix. Since he was hired in May of 2019, he finished with an overall record of 309-194 (.628) with Phoenix, was the 2022 Coach of the Year, led the team to the 2021 NBA Finals, went 8-0 in the bubble.
