Los Angeles - Phoenix Suns head Terry Porter is expected to join the ranks of the unemployed this week.
Porter could receive his pink slip as early as Monday, and likely be replaced by Suns' lead assistant Alvin Gentry on an interim basis, according to reports on the Arizona Republic's website.
However, no decision on a replacement has been made yet.
In his first season behind the Suns' bench, Porter has guided the club to a respectable 28-23 record, but they are in ninth place in an eight-team playoff race in the highly-competitive Western Conference.
