Former Toronto Raptors head coach Nick Nurse is among the list of candidates for the Phoenix Suns' vacant head coaching position, TNT's Chris Haynes reports.
Former Milwaukee Bucks head coach Mike Budenholzer and Suns assistant Kevin Young are also on the list, Haynes adds.
The Suns fired 2021-22 Coach of the Year Monty Williams on Saturday, days after losing Game 6 to the Denver Nuggets at home in a Western Conference semifinal playoff series.
The Raptors fired Nurse on April 21 following a disappointing home loss to the Chicago Bulls in the NBA's play-in tournament.
Nurse (2020) and Budenholzer (2015, 2019) have both previously won Coach of the Year honours.
Nurse registered a 237-170 record as Raptors head coach, guiding the team to a championship title in the 2018-19 season, the first in franchise history.
