This comes the day after the Suns put a bow on preseason play with a win over the Los Angeles Lakers, resulting in a 3-1 record before wiping the slate clean for next week's start of the regular season.

Belief is that Suns Center Mark Williams will be ready for opening day. He has played 5-on-5 the last week and will get a few scrimmages in before next week's opener vs Sacramento on Wednesday. This report comes after Suns coach Jordan Ott commented on Williams' progress before last night's preseason finale against the Los Angeles Lakers:

In the absence of the Suns’ stars, Jared Butler stole the show, delivering an all-around performance that turned heads. Butler finished with 35 points, nine assists and seven rebounds, a breakout effort after scoring a combined 27 points across Phoenix’s first three preseason games.
