Suns injury update. Mark Williams out, Grayson Allen in vs Warriors

Phoenix Suns starting center Mark Williams has been downgraded from questionable to out for the April 17 Play-In Tournament game against the Golden State Warriors.

Suns coach Jordan Ott said Williams’ left foot flared up early in the second half of Tuesday’s loss to the Portland Trail Blazers in the 7-8 play in game.

Williams finished with four points in 22 minutes as Ott said the foot setback factored in the 7-footer not playing in the fourth quarter.

“Just flared up,” Ott said before Friday’s game. “Now we’re just waiting for the inflammation to calm down.”
