The Phoenix Suns traded for Mark Williams on draft night, sending Vasilije Miciu0107, the 29th pick, and a 2029 first-round pick to the Hornets. They needed a starting center and found one in Williams, but there's one big issue — injury history.
Williams won't play in Phoenix's first preseason game later this evening (Oct. 3). Ott said he doesn't think that the center will play in the Suns' two preseason games in China on Oct. 10 and 12, either. Phoenix will return to PHX Arena after that to play its final preseason game on Oct. 14 against the Lakers.
