Mark Williams Fantasy Stats

Phoenix Suns center Mark Williams (suspension) will miss Monday's meeting with the Washington Wizards. He'll get a night off without pay for his role in a physical altercation with Jose Alvarado during Saturday's win over the New Orleans Pelicans. Williams will likely be back on Wednesday in Cleveland. In the meantime, Oso Ighodaro, averaging 6.3 points, 5.0 rebounds, and 1.8 assists in six starts this season, is expected to replace Williams in the rotation.

Phoenix Suns center Mark Williams (knee) will be active on Saturday against the New Orleans Pelicans. The two teams meet for a second consecutive night in New Orleans, and Williams was initially considered questionable for the game due to right knee injury management. The injury-prone big man will play both games in a back-to-back situation for the first time this season. He had a great night against the Pelicans on Friday, recording 24 points, 13 rebounds, two assists, two steals, and one block in 27 minutes.

Phoenix Suns center Mark Williams (calf) has been removed from the injury report ahead of Monday's clash against the Los Angeles Lakers. The injury-prone big man missed the second leg of a back-to-back on Saturday against the Denver Nuggets. So far this season, Williams has sat out one game in each of the Suns' back-to-back situations. He has had no issues getting through the rest of the schedule, averaging 12.9 points, 9.2 rebounds, and 1.3 steals in 25.5 minutes. On Monday, Williams will go for a fourth consecutive double-double and certainly has a point to prove after his failed trade to the Lakers last season.

Phoenix Suns center Mark Williams (right knee injury management) will not play Thursday night when the Suns host the Pacers. It's not surprising that Williams will get the night off since the team is playing for the second night in a row after defeating the Mavericks on Wednesday for their fourth straight win. While Williams is out, Nick Richards and Oso Ighodaro will likely absorb his minutes in the middle, and they have a favorable matchup against the Pacers, who play fast and have allowed the fifth-most fantasy points to centers this season.

Phoenix Suns center Mark Williams (knee) is not on the injury report for Monday's contest against the Utah Jazz. Due to a knee issue, he sat out the second leg of a back-to-back on Saturday against the Denver Nuggets. In two appearances this season, Williams has been limited to 19.0 minutes per game. He's averaged 4.0 points and 8.5 rebounds. While he hasn't done anything spectacular, Williams has been more productive than Phoenix's starting center, Oso Ighodaro, who has notched 6.7 points and 3.7 rebounds per game in 21.0 minutes.

Phoenix Suns center Mark Williams (knee, injury management) won't play on Saturday versus Denver. The 23-year-old hasn't played well this season, averaging only 4.0 points, 8.5 boards, and 1.0 blocks. As expected, he'll get the night off to rest after logging 14 minutes in Friday's loss to the Clippers. Oso Ighodaro is in line to remain in the starting lineup, with Nick Richards on tap to see increased minutes from off the bench. However, neither player can be trusted from a fantasy standpoint. Williams is expected to return to the lineup on Monday versus the Utah Jazz. Still, until he starts producing, which could happen at some point down the line, he's not worth rostering.

Phoenix Suns center Mark Williams (undisclosed) has made progress in his recovery, as he is now participating in five-on-five drills during practice, Duane Rankin of The Arizona Republic reports. Williams has been sidelined for the entire preseason due to an undisclosed health issue, but this recent update gives fantasy managers hope that he can be ready for the start of the regular season. The Suns' opening night is scheduled for Oct. 22 against the Sacramento Kings. Williams has bags of fantasy potential, but injuries have kept him back. Last season, the 23-year-old averaged 15.3 points, 10.2 rebounds, and 1.2 blocks in 26.6 minutes with the Charlotte Hornets.

Phoenix Suns center Mark Williams has said that he'll play on opening night, and coach Jordan Ott seems comfortable with the big man's progress. Ahead of the team's trip to China for two exhibition games against the Nets, Ott said, "He's out here working. In a good place... He's in all of our drills... Things could change, but he's still right on plan." Williams has been very productive when healthy, but has been severely limited by a variety of injury issues throughout his career. Last season, Williams averaged 15.3 points and 10.2 rebounds in 26.6 minutes last year for Charlotte. The Suns are planning to rotate him with Nick Richards and No. 10 overall pick Khaman Maluach at center, but they're obviously playing it very cautiously with Williams' health leading up to the start of the season.

Phoenix Suns center Mark Williams will not play in Friday's preseason opener against the Los Angeles Lakers, Duane Rankin of The Arizona Republic reports. Williams hasn't yet participated in any five-one-five work during training camp. "He does everything in practice that we ask except live five-on-five at this point," Suns head coach Jordan Ott said Wednesday. "We have a plan for him. We know what his previous three years were (in Charlotte). So we have a plan for him going forward." Williams has faced health issues throughout his three-year NBA career, playing in only 106 games. It appears the Suns plan to be especially cautious with him, and rushing him into preseason action would not be wise. When healthy, Williams can be a significant contributor in fantasy basketball, having averaged a double-double last season with 15.3 points and 10.2 rebounds in 26.6 minutes.

The Phoenix Suns have acquired center Mark Williams from the Charlotte Hornets, according to Shams Charania. ESPN's Insider says Phoenix is sending back the 29th pick in the 2025 NBA Draft and a 2029 first-round selection for the 23-year-old. Williams was traded to the Los Angeles Lakers at the trade deadline last season, only for a failed physical to send him back to Charlotte. The Suns struggled with interior defense and size in the 2024-25 season and now have Williams and the 10th overall pick, Khaman Maluach, manning the middle. Williams is coming off his best statistical season, averaging 15.3 points and 10.2 rebounds per game in his third professional season.
