The Phoenix Suns are hiring the NBA’s Morgan Cato as assistant general manager and vice president of basketball operations, making her one of the NBA’s highest-ranking women in a league front office, sources told ESPN.
Cato — who’ll also become the first woman of color to hold the title of assistant GM — will report to GM James Jones and work with coach Monty Williams on several fronts, including the leadership and strategy related to coaching development, player engagement and front office personnel operations, sources said.
Cato spent the past decade working for the NBA in New York under president of league operations Byron Spruell. Her roles there included several strategic initiatives that targeted the growth of the game throughout the NBA and world, including officiating development, the launch of the Basketball Africa League and the global basketball talent pipeline.
The Suns were a league-best 64-18 this past season before losing to the Dallas Mavericks in the Western Conference semifinals.
