The Phoenix Suns have added longtime NBA executive Ed Stefanski to their front office, league sources confirmed to Marc Stein. Stefanski joins former MVP Steve Nash in an advisory role as the Suns continue to strengthen their organizational structure.
Stefanski brings decades of experience to Phoenix, having held key roles with the Nets, 76ers, Raptors, Grizzlies, and Pistons. His expertise covers talent evaluation, roster building, and strategic planning at the highest levels of the league.
The Suns’ front office moves come as the team enters the 2025–26 season under new head coach Jordan Ott. Phoenix features a roster led by Devin Booker and Dillon Brooks, supported by promising young players such as Khaman Maluach and Rasheer Fleming.
Stefanski’s advisory role is expected to complement Nash’s ongoing efforts, providing guidance on player development and potential trades. The Suns have emphasized the importance of combining veteran insight with innovative strategies to remain competitive in the Western Conference.
Phoenix is looking to leverage Stefanski’s experience as it navigates a roster that blends seasoned veterans like Grayson Allen and Royce O’Neale with high-upside talent including Jalen Green and Collin Gillespie. Stefanski’s presence may accelerate decisions on both short-term moves and long-term planning.
