Phoenix Suns center Mark Williams sidelined indefinitely with offseason injury

Phoenix Suns center Mark Williams will be out for several months following an injury sustained during a recent workout. The 24-year-old was a core member of the team's rotation last season, appearing in 60 games and averaging 11.7 points and eight rebounds. The injury leaves the front office without a clear timeline for his return to the lineup. In response, the organization is expected to evaluate replacements to fill the void at center. Potential candidates for increased minutes include sophomore Khaman Maluach and third-year center Oso Ighodaro Oso Ighodaro. The team recently signed Williams to a three-year, $38 million fully guaranteed contract after he started 55 games during the 2025-26 season.
