The Phoenix Suns have lost 23 of their last 26 games, which included a franchise-record 17-game losing streak, but first-year head coach Igor Kokoskov won’t be fired anytime soon.
Appearing on 98.7 FM’s Burns & Gambo on Wednesday, Co-Interim GM James Jones was asked about Kokoskov and didn’t hesitate to stand by his side, at least through the remainder of this season.
It sounds like the Suns have expectations to play consistently competitive basketball over the final six weeks of the 2018-19 campaign. So, it still could be possible the seat gets warm once again if Phoenix is unable to pick up some gimme wins against tanking teams down the stretch like New Orleans, New York, Chicago, Washington, Memphis and Cleveland.
