Mark Williams Out Until All-Star Break With Torn Labrum

Phoenix Suns center Mark Williams suffered a torn labrum in his shoulder during a scrimmage and is expected to be sidelined until at least the All-Star break, potentially missing a majority of the season. The significant injury initially left Phoenix relying heavily on young frontcourt players Khaman Maluach, Oso Ighodaro, and CJ Huntley while operating near the second apron. In response, Phoenix signed veteran center Duop Reath.
