Sitting out again
Williams (foot) is out for Tuesday's game against the Magic.
Analysis
Williams hasn't played since March 3 due to a stress reaction in the third metatarsal of his left foot, though he was recently cleared for 5-on-5 at practice. His next chance to play comes Thursday against Charlotte. Until Williams is cleared to play, Oso Ighodaro should continue to start at center.

Remains out for Monday
Williams (foot) remains out for Monday's game against Memphis.
Analysis
Williams hasn't played in nearly a month, and although his recent participation in 5-on-5 drills suggests he might be nearing a return, he won't be in the lineup versus Memphis. With the 24-year-old out again, Oso Ighodaro will presumably remain in the starting lineup.

Progresses to 5-on-5
Williams (foot) participated in 5-on-5 drills at practice Saturday, Duane Rankin of The Arizona Republic reports.
Analysis
It's a huge step in Williams' recovery from a stress reaction in the third metatarsal of his left foot, and it's safe to assume his return is on the horizon. The center has already been ruled out for Saturday's matchup with the Jazz, so his next chance to play will come Monday against Memphis.

Remains out for Saturday
Williams (foot) has been ruled out for Saturday's game against the Jazz.
Analysis
Williams will miss a 13th straight game due to a stress reaction in the third metatarsal of his left foot. The big man has yet to advance to 5-on-5 work, so he can be considered doubtful for Monday's game against the Grizzlies until Phoenix offers an update on his progress.

Limited to individual work
Williams (foot) has yet to advance past individual work, Hayden Cilley of ClutchPoints.com reports.
Analysis
Williams hasn't played since March 3 due to a stress reaction in the third metatarsal of his left foot, and he'll need to participate in 5-on-5 work before being cleared to return. The big man can be considered doubtful for Saturday's game against the Jazz until the Suns offer an update on his progress. Oso Ighodaro will likely continue to start for as long as Williams is sidelined.
