There was ambiguity regarding David Fizdale’s involvement with the Phoenix Suns, following the parting of ways with Frank Vogel. Swiftly following the coaching change, the Suns offered Fizdale a “new front office role,” as reported by The Atheltic which led to an intermission of sorts over the last two weeks as the dust settled on the changes that took place.
As confirmed by ESPN’s Adrian Wojnarowski, Fizdale has now accepted a “prominent assistant coaching role” and the Suns have retained one of the league’s most valued sideline presences, for Budenholzer’s brain trust.
