Mark Williams Cleared to Return for Suns After Rest Day, Off Injury Report

Phoenix Suns center Mark Williams is off the team's injury report and is set to return for Sunday's game against the Hawks after sitting out Thursday's win over the Pacers for rest, which was the second leg of a back-to-back. His return, reported on November 15, 2025, means Nick Richards is expected to move back to the bench. Williams, a 23-year-old center, was traded to the Suns in June 2025 after being drafted 15th overall by the Hornets in 2022. Over his last five outings, he has averaged 12.0 points, 8.4 rebounds, 1.6 steals, and 1.4 assists in 26.0 minutes per contest, contributing to his 2025 season stats of 11.7 points, 8.7 rebounds, 0.9 assists, 1.4 steals, and 1.0 blocks.
