The Suns were expected to contend for a playoff spot under Budenholzer as they entered their first full season with Devin Booker, Kevin Durant and Bradley Beal as teammates. Instead, they were unable to build upon a promising 9-2 start to the year as Durant and Beal combined to miss 49 games due to injuries.

The Phoenix Suns, after one of the most disappointing seasons in NBA history, appear to be heading towards a hard reset. They fired head coach Mike Budenholzer after just a single season, are expected to trade Kevin Durant, and could even buy out Bradley Beal.

Devin Booker, Kevin Durant and Bradley Beal played 37 games together this season. None will play when the Suns end the season in Sacramento.
