Lon Babby Fully Ends Tenure With Suns

May 5, 2016 6:15 PM

The tenure with Lon Babby with the Phoenix Suns is now formally over.

Babby took a step back from the Suns last summer and was a part-time senior adviser after a five-year run as president of basketball operations.

“I’m very appreciative for the opportunity to come to Phoenix, be part of a wonderful community and see and learn a lot of things that have been very gratifying,” Babby said. “I look forward to staying involved here in the community and being more involved with my family. I turned 65 in February and consider myself a full-fledged snowbird.”

Babby had represented Grant Hill, Tim Duncan, Ray Allen and others as an agent.
