Suns' Mark Williams: Scores 19 points with eight boards
Williams notched 19 points (6-9 FG, 7-8 FT), eight rebounds, one steal, one block and one turnover in 26 minutes during Friday's 114-113 win over the Timberwolves.
Williams is quietly having a top-60 season with averages of 12.2 points on 63.2 percent shooting from the floor and 78.7 percent at the line to go with 8.1 rebounds, 1.3 steals, 0.9 blocks and just 0.9 turnovers per contest. If he can just manage to stay healthy this season, he could be on a lot of winning fantasy teams.

Suns' Mark Williams: Logs serviceable total in win
Williams supplied 15 points (7-9 FG, 1-2 FT), six rebounds, one assist, one block and two steals in 21 minutes during Tuesday's 127-110 victory over the Trail Blazers.
The Suns spread the center minutes out between Williams and Oso Ighodaro in the win, although most of Ighodaro's minutes came in the second half with a secure lead. The Suns are utilizing the tactic of resting Williams in back-to-back contests, so we may see him take a game off in the upcoming back-to-back set this weekend.

Suns' Mark Williams: Off report for Sunday
Williams (rest) is off the Suns' injury report for Sunday's game against the Hawks.
After sitting out Thursday's win over the Pacers -- the second leg of a back-to-back set -- Williams is set to return Sunday. With the big man back in the lineup, Nick Richards is expected to slide back to the bench. Over his last five outings, Williams has averaged 12.0 points, 8.4 rebounds, 1.6 steals and 1.4 assists in 26.0 minutes per contest.

Suns' Mark Williams: Confirmed out for Thursday
Williams (rest) will not play Thursday against the Pacers.
Thursday's game is the second leg of a back-to-back set, so Williams will get the night for maintenance. During Wednesday's game against Dallas, Williams produced 10 points (5-6 FG), four rebounds, two assists, two blocks and two steals over 26 minutes. Guys like Nick Richards, Oso Ighodaro and Khaman Maluach could be more involved as a result of this news.

Suns' Mark Williams: Strong defensive showing in win
Williams totaled 10 points (5-6 FG), four rebounds, two assists, two blocks and two steals over 26 minutes during Wednesday's 123-114 victory over the Mavericks.
The fourth-year center produced a season-low rebounding total, but Williams made up for it by delivering multiple blocks and steals in the same game for the first time in 2025-26. The former Hornet has been making an impact defensively since moving into the starting five, and over eight straight starts, he's averaging 12.0 points, 8.5 boards, 1.3 assists, 1.6 steals and 1.1 blocks while shooting 62.7 percent from the floor.

Suns' Mark Williams: Hits for 19 in win
Williams produced 19 points (7-9 FG, 5-5 FT), six rebounds and two steals over 29 minutes during Saturday's 114-103 victory over the Clippers.
Making his sixth straight start, Williams tied his season low in rebounding but remained productive on the defensive end as he snagged multiple steals for the fourth time this season. The 23-year-old center is averaging 14.0 points, 9.7 boards, 1.7 steals, 1.2 assists and 0.8 blocks in 27.0 minutes a game as part of the starting five, and while Suns coach Jordan Ott is still searching for a lineup he likes, Williams seems to be establishing himself as a consistent piece of the puzzle.

Suns' Mark Williams: Good to go against Clippers
Williams (illness) is available for Saturday's game against the Clippers.
Williams was initially listed as questionable for Saturday's game due to an illness, but the fourth-year pro has been cleared to play. He has started in each of the Suns' last five games, averaging 13.0 points, 10.4 rebounds, 1.6 steals, 1.4 assists and 1.0 blocks in 26.6 minutes per game during that span.

Suns' Mark Williams: Questionable Saturday
Williams (illness) is questionable to play in Saturday's game against the Clippers.
Williams is dealing with an illness, which could sideline him. The Suns will likely turn to Oso Ighodaro, Nick Richards and Khaman Maluach if Williams is ruled out.

Suns' Mark Williams: Secures another double-double
Williams contributed 13 points (4-8 FG, 5-6 FT), 10 rebounds and two steals across 28 minutes during Thursday's 115-102 victory over the Clippers.
Williams turned in yet another strong showing across the board, notching his second double-double in as many games. He's posted four double-doubles through eight appearances this season and should continue to be a consistent source of points and rebounds now that he's officially taken over the starting center role.

Suns' Mark Williams: Stuffs stat line in defeat
Williams ended with 16 points (6-12 FG, 4-5 FT), 16 rebounds, four assists and one steal across 27 minutes during Tuesday's 118-107 loss to the Warriors.
Williams recorded his third double-double of the season during the loss and enjoyed a season-high 16 rebounds against the Warriors. Although his shooting stroke at the charity line needs some work, he has converted 57.6 percent from the floor over his first seven games of the season.

Suns' Mark Williams: Shines in starting role
Williams registered 20 points (9-12 FG, 2-2 FT), 12 rebounds, one assist, one block and four steals in 28 minutes during Wednesday's 114-113 loss to the Grizzlies.
Williams supplanted Oso Ighodaro in the starting lineup and transformed Phoenix's interior game in the process. Williams excelled in the role he seemed destined to acquire, and the move should be a permanent one. Nick Richards was already behind Ighodaro, and the former is now at the bottom of the depth chart at the position.

Suns' Mark Williams: Making first start as Sun
Williams is part of the starting lineup for Wednesday's game against the Grizzlies, Shane Young of Forbes.com reports.
Williams will make his first start of the 2025-26 season after coming off the bench in his first three games of the campaign. The center has been ramping up after he missed the entire preseason due to injury. He played 31 minutes in his most recent game, logging 25 points and 11 rebounds. Oso Ighodaro will retreat to the bench.

Suns' Mark Williams: Season-best performance
Williams closed with 25 points (9-14 FG, 7-9 FT), 11 rebounds and two steals in 31 minutes during Monday's 138-134 overtime loss to Utah.
Williams had easily his best game of the season, recording a double-double, despite still being a reserve behind Oso Ighodaro. It's been a slow ramp-up for Williams, having played in three of the four games, coming off the bench in all three. However, given he logged 31 minutes in this one, all signs point to him entering the starting lineup sooner rather than later.

Suns' Mark Williams: Off injury report
Williams (knee) is not listed on the injury report ahead of Monday's game against the Jazz.
Williams missed Saturday's game, which was the second half of a back-to-back set due to a right knee issue, as he will be load-managed throughout the season. However, he will return to action Monday against Utah. In two appearances, Williams has averaged 4.0 points, 8.5 rebounds and 1.0 blocks in 19.0 minutes per contest.

Suns' Mark Williams: Won't play Saturday
Williams (knee) has been ruled out for Saturday's game against the Nuggets.
Williams will continue to be load-managed throughout the 2025-26 season, with the team going with a cautious approach with the Duke product. The squad will likely call on Oso Ighodaro to soak up more of Williams' minutes.

Suns' Mark Williams: Grabs 11 boards off bench
Williams finished Wednesday's 120-116 victory over the Kings with six points (3-5 FG), 11 rebounds and two blocks in 24 minutes.
As expected, Williams was limited to 24 minutes during Opening Night, but he looked good and was productive, despite coming off the bench. It's unclear if the veteran will supplant Oso Ighodaro as the starting center moving forward. However, Williams proved Wednesday that he doesn't need a full allotment of minutes to flirt with a double-double and rack up a few blocks.

Suns' Mark Williams: Coming off bench
Williams isn't part of the starting lineup for Wednesday's game against the Kings.
Williams will play just 20-24 minutes in the contest, and part of his limitations include coming off the bench. The 23-year-old center didn't play in the preseason, and the Suns are continuing to ease him along. Oso Ighodaro will start at center Wednesday.

Suns' Mark Williams: To play 20-24 minutes
Williams will play somewhere between 20 and 24 minutes during Wednesday's game against Sacramento, John Gambadoro of Arizona Sports 98.7 FM reports.
Head coach Jordan Ott indicated Williams would have a "target number" for minutes in the season opener, and it looks as though the talented young center will see a workload of 20-24 minutes. The 23-year-old has dealt with a plethora of injuries since entering the NBA in 2022, and he's appeared in just 106 games through three seasons as a result. Phoenix will look to ease Williams into the 2025-26 season, likely with the hope of keeping Williams healthy throughout a long campaign. Even with the minutes restriction, Williams is a double-double threat. He averaged 15.3 points and 10.2 rebounds across 26.6 minutes per game in 2024-25.
