2024–25 Phoenix Suns season
Review of the season / From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The 2024–25 Phoenix Suns season will be the 57th season of the franchise in the National Basketball Association (NBA), as well as their 32nd season at the Footprint Center.[1] It is also their second full season under the ownership group led by Mat Ishbia and Justin Ishbia after the brothers purchased the team on February 8, 2023, and their second season with their "Big Three" superteam of Devin Booker, Kevin Durant, and Bradley Beal together. However, this will be their third season in a row with a new head coach taking over following the announcement of Frank Vogel's firing on May 9, 2024, this time having 2021 NBA Finals champion coach Mike Budenholzer taking over as the new head coach two days later.[2] Not only that, this is also their first season since the 2019–20 season where the Suns would properly utilize the NBA G League again with their own squad (this time, the Valley Suns) after previously selling the Northern Arizona Suns to the Detroit Pistons during that season's suspension/reinstatement period and subsequently shutting down that G League team for the following season afterward in a move unrelated to their sale,[3] thus marking the first time where every NBA team would utilize their own G League affiliate during a season.[4] Entering this season, the Suns are looking to improve upon their previous season's record of 49–33, which left them with a sixth-place finish in the Western Conference, as well as look to enter the playoffs for the fifth straight season in a row after previously missing out on the playoffs for a decade straight and improve upon their dismal first round performance from last season.
