Pistons assistant coach Terry Porter was interviewed Thursday by Suns general manager Steve Kerr for the vacant head coach job in Phoenix, according to ESPN.

Kerr told ESPN that he flew in and out of the Detroit area Thursday to speak with Porter, who he played with for a few seasons in San Antonio.

Porter, in his second year as a Pistons assistant, was the head coach for the Bucks from 2003-2005. He posted a record of 71-92.

The Suns recently lost coach Mike D’Antoni to the Knicks.
