Overview

  • Owner Mat Ishbia announced on X that Nash, 51, has been appointed senior adviser on Sept. 22.
  • The team has not specified responsibilities for the position, framing the adviser role as flexible and open-ended.
  • Nash is a two-time MVP and Hall of Famer who later coached the Nets to a 94–67 record after serving as a Warriors consultant.
  • Phoenix is regrouping after a 36–46 season with major moves that included trading Kevin Durant to Houston, buying out Bradley Beal, and extending Booker, with training camp opening Sept. 25.
  • Initial reporting indicates Nash may keep his planned Amazon Prime Video analyst work, so the extent of his day-to-day involvement with the Suns is still to be determined.
