Robert Sarver and Ryan McDonough held individual meetings on Sunday in an attempt to achieve a better understanding of the issues plaguing the Phoenix Suns.

Ownership and management have been considering firing Hornacek while trying to give him every chance of figuring out the situation.

Management met with key players and assistant coaches on Sunday.

Assistant coach Mike Longabardi is a possible short-term solution as an interim coach, should the Suns fire Hornacek. Another possibility could be assistant coach Earl Watson.

Hornacek has strong relationship with Sarver and McDonough.

Hornacek has a team option on the 2016-17 season in his contract, which the organization has yet to exercise.
