The Phoenix Suns fired head coach Frank Vogel on Thursday, 11 days after the team was swept out of the postseason's first round by the Minnesota Timberwolves.

Former Bucks coach Mike Budenholzer is expected to be a prominent candidate to replace Vogel, sources told ESPN's Adrian Wojnarowski.

"As we said at the press conference on May 1, team leadership including myself, Josh Bartelstein, and ownership would be looking across basketball operations to determine what changes needed to be made," Suns general manager James Jones said in a statement.
