The Phoenix Suns appear close to hiring Jeff Hornacek as their head coach.
A person with knowledge of the situation told The Associated Press on Sunday that the Suns are in contract negotiations with Hornacek, although no deal has been finalized. The person spoke on condition of anonymity because no public announcement had been made.
The comments came after azcentralsports, which includes the Arizona Republic, reported Sunday that Hornacek reached agreement on a three-year contract.
If all goes as anticipated, Hornacek would be introduced at a news conference Tuesday.
