Fox Sports Update.

The Phoenix Suns have settled on their fourth coach in four seasons. The Suns have hired Cavaliers assistant Jordan Ott as their next head coach, according to multiple reports, a month and a half after firing Mike Budenholzer, who lasted just one season in the Valley of the Sun. Ott was one of two finalists for the job, along with Cavs assistant Johnny Bryant. The Suns are coming off a massively disappointing year, missing out on the playoffs despite a high-priced roster with Kevin Durant, Bradley Beal, and Devin Booker.

Staying in basketball, the start of the NBA Finals is just about 24 hours away. The Pacers and the Thunder tip off Game 1 from Oklahoma City on Thursday at 8.30 Eastern. It's the second trip to the Finals for the Thunder since moving from Seattle in 2008, while the Pacers are making just their second appearance in franchise history. The Thunder are the heavy favorites in the series after winning an NBA Best 68 games during the regular season and rolling through the Minnesota Timberwolves in the Western Conference Finals.

And, you know, I feel like a lot of players just say that, but, like, I actually mean that. And I think that's been on full display for the past, man, month, two months of the season and whatnot. That was courtesy of the Pacers.
