Senior vice president of basketball operations Jeff Bower and the Phoenix Suns have parted ways, as relayed by Duane Rankin of the Arizona Republic. Bower originally joined the Suns in 2019.
“I am grateful for the opportunity to have been part of the organization,” he said. “We are proud of the progress and accomplishments achieved on the court over the past two seasons. I look forward to other opportunities and projects that are in the future.”
Phoenix constructed a title-contending team this season after going just 19-63 two seasons ago, a remarkable turnaround for the franchise. The re-shaping of the roster largely had to do with general manager James Jones, Bower and others.
“Jeff’s impact on the franchise has been immeasurable,” Jones said. “He helped lay the foundation for our success. We are extremely thankful.”
