Speaking to the media, Ott described the report as “unexpected” and emphasized that the Suns remain fully focused on the 2025–26 NBA season. “Our team’s priority is on development, performance, and building chemistry,” Ott said, “and we will not let outside commentary distract us from our goals.”
Budenholzer, who led the Suns during the 2024–25 season before being dismissed after a disappointing 36–46 record, reportedly made comments regarding coaching strategies and roster decisions. These statements have stirred discussion among fans and analysts about the team’s direction under Ott.
NBA insiders note that leadership transitions often come with scrutiny, and Ott’s calm but firm reaction signals his commitment to steering the Suns through a rebuilding phase. The franchise, now under Ott’s guidance, is focusing on developing a younger, more athletic roster centered around star guard Devin Booker.
Fans are eager to see how Ott’s approach will translate on the court as the Suns aim to regain a competitive edge in the fiercely contested Western Conference.
