The NBA's Phoenix Suns have fired head coach Monty Williams, according to ESPN's Adrian Wojnarowski and The Athletic's Shams Charania.
The firing comes two days after the Suns were eliminated in the Western Conference semifinals by the Denver Nuggets in six games in their best-of-seven series. Expectations for the team were high after acquiring NBA superstar Kevin Durant in a blockbuster trade in February.
The 51-year-old Williams compiled a 194-115 record in four seasons in Phoenix and won the NBA's Coach of the Year award last season after the Suns won 64 regular-season games. The Suns also failed to advance past the Western Conference semifinals last season, losing to the Dallas Mavericks in seven games.
In 2021, Williams helped lead the Suns to its first NBA finals appearance since 1993.
CNN has reached out to the Suns for comment.
