Raptors 905 head coach Patrick Mutombo is joining the Phoenix Suns as an assistant coach on Monty Williams' staff, ESPN's Adrian Wojnarowski reports.
Mutombo has been coaching in the G League since the start of the 2020-21 season. Prior to his stint with Raptors 905, he worked as an assistant with the Denver Nuggets and, more recently, the Toronto Raptors.
The 42-year-old led the 905 to first-place finishes in back-to-back campaigns and has a 36-11 regular-season record since taking over as head coach.
Phoenix is coming off an NBA-best 64-18 regular season. The Suns were eliminated by the Dallas Mavericks in the Western Conference semifinals.
