PHOENIX (AP) — The Phoenix Suns have scheduled a “major announcement” on Tuesday amid widespread speculation that agent Lon Babby will be named the team’s president for basketball operations.
Babby represents the Suns’ newly acquired Hedo Turkoglu and is the former agent of Phoenix’s other recent addition, Josh Childress.
Suns owner Robert Sarver has been searching for a replacement for general manager Steve Kerr, who stepped down at the end of June and has returned to his previous role of NBA analyst for TNT.
The team’s brief news release said only that a “major announcement” would be made at a news conference on Tuesday, with Sarver and coach Alvin Gentry among those in attendance.
