This development appears to be unfolding independently of the ongoing coaching search, signaling that internal discussions around Durant’s future may already be well underway.
As for the coaching front, Phoenix is reportedly advancing Miami Heat assistant Chris Quinn and Cleveland Cavaliers assistant Jordan Ott to the next round of interviews.
Those meetings will include sit-downs with team owner Mat Ishbia, underlining how high-stakes this offseason will be for the franchise.
Suns star Devin Booker is said to be actively involved in the head coaching process, highlighting his role as a central figure in the team's long-term vision.
