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.

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.”
