The Phoenix Suns have reached a deal to hire former Los Angeles Lakers head coach Frank Vogel, multiple US media outlets reported on Friday. Vogel, 49, led LeBron James, Anthony Davis and the rest of the Lakers to the 2020 championship in the Covid-protective bubble in Orlando, Florida. The Lakers fired Vogel after they missed the playoffs in the 2021-22 season, with Darvin Ham stepping in and leading the Lakers to the Western Conference finals — where they were swept by the Denver Nuggets. ESPN reported Friday that the Suns and Vogel were finalizing a deal that will see him take over after Phoenix fired coach Monty Williams in May — after they were eliminated in six games in the Western Conference semi-finals by the Nuggets.
