Mark Williams participated in Friday’s light scrimmage, signaling a positive step in his recovery from a lower body injury. The Suns are cautiously managing his return, with plans for a more intensive practice on Saturday. Williams’ progress over the coming days will be crucial in determining his availability for the start of the season. In his absence, Oso Ighodaro has been seeing starting minutes, while rookie Khaman Maluach is showing promise for the future.
