The Phoenix Suns begin their preseason slate of games Friday versus the Los Angeles Lakers, the first of two contests against one of their biggest rivals in the league. They will then head off to Macau to face the Brooklyn Nets twice, before returning home for another meeting with Los Angeles, before the action begins for real.
Head coach Jordan Ott was speaking to the media after their practice session at training camp on Wednesday, and revealed that center Mark Williams will not be playing in the first tune up. Coach Ott stopped short of saying the often injured 23-year-old was in fact injured, but his follow up on when Williams will take to the court did not fill fans with confidence.
