PHOENIX (AP) -Steve Kerr will be named general manager of the Phoenix Suns, a person with knowledge of the hiring said Friday.
Kerr can’t officially take the job until he completes his obligations as an analyst for TNT during the NBA playoffs. He is expected to be introduced at a news conference next week, said a person close to the situation who asked not to be identified because the official announcement had not been made.
Kerr is a close friend of Suns owner Robert Sarver and owns a small piece of the team. He would replace Mike D’Antoni, who held the titles of general manager and head coach. The move will allow D’Antoni to concentrate on coaching.
