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.

Impact 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.

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.

Impact Williams had easily his best game of the season, recording a double-double, despite still coming off the bench. 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.

Won't play Saturday Williams (knee) has been ruled out for Saturday's game against the Nuggets.

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.

Impact 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.

Ott's rotation raises questions as Suns bench top draft pick | Sporting News Not only was Mark Williams left out of the starting lineup, but this top-10 pick was omitted from the rotation entirely.

Coming off bench Williams isn't part of the starting lineup for Wednesday's game against the Kings.

Impact 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.

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.

Impact 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.

On track for Opening Night Williams (undisclosed) is expected to be ready for the start of the regular season, John Gambadoro of Arizona Sports 98.7 FM reports.

Impact Williams is slated to continue participating in team scrimmages in preparation for Wednesday's regular-season opener against the Kings. The big man has yet to reach the 50-game threshold in any of his first three seasons, though he's on track to begin this year with a clean bill of health.

Impact Williams will continue to be held out through Tuesday's preseason finale with an undisclosed injury, but the fact that he's getting through 5-on-5 work is an encouraging sign regarding his status for opening night. While health is a concern, Williams' enormous upside makes him an intriguing player to gamble on as you approach the 80-range on draft day.
