Center Mark Williams has been upgraded to questionable for the Phoenix Suns’ game against the Charlotte Hornets on Thursday.
Williams has missed the Suns’ last 15 games due to a left foot stress reaction. In his absence, second-year pro Oso Ighodaro has started at center.
Additionally, Haywood Highsmith (right knee injury management) and Amir Coffey (left ankle sprain) remain out.
In a career-high 56 games this season, Williams is averaging 11.6 points (on 63.3% shooting), 8.1 rebounds and an assist per game.
Williams’ potential return comes as the Suns have seen several players return from various injuries in recent games, including Dillon Brooks, Grayson Allen and Royce O’Neale.
Suns-Hornets tips off from the Spectrum Center in Charlotte at 4 p.m. MST. Listen to the game on 98.7, ArizonaSports.com or the Arizona Sports app.
