Darko Rajakovic hired away from the Suns to join Grizzlies’ staff

The Suns’ training staff continues to change this offseason, as Darko Rajakovic has now been hired away to join Taylor Jenkins in Memphis.

When Monty Williams was hired by the Suns last summer, Rajakovic was one of the fist hires he made, bringing him in from Oklahoma City, where the two coached together for several years. Losing him could be a challenge for Williams and the Suns.

“I’m very excited to join Taylor’s staff and the Grizzlies organization,” Rajakovic said in a statement. ”This is a unique opportunity to meaningfully contribute to the growth of a highly competitive and sustainable program in Memphis.
