Swats three shots in return
Williams (foot) recorded 12 points (6-7 FG), four rebounds, three blocks, one assist and one steal across 20 minutes Thursday in the Suns' 127-107 loss to the Hornets.
Analyse
Cleared to play for the first time since March 3 after a month-long absence due to a stress reaction in his left foot, Williams was deployed off the bench but came through with a serviceable line while backing up Oso Ighodaro. Though Ighodaro received 25 minutes, the playing-time split between the two centers could eventually tilt back into Williams' favor once he gets fully ramped back up.

Won't start in return
Williams (foot) will come off the bench in Thursday's game against Charlotte.
Analyse
Williams hasn't played in nearly a month, so he'll come off the bench in this contest. As a result, Oso Ighodaro will remain in the starting lineup, although it's unknown if this arrangement will continue Sunday in Chicago.

Good to go Thursday
Williams (foot) has been cleared to play Thursday against Charlotte, Duane Rankin of The Arizona Republic reports.
Analyse
Williams appeared to be trending in the right direction leading up to tipoff, and the team has since officially declared him available for Thursday's clash, which will mark the big man's first action since March 3. The Duke product has missed nearly a month while recovering from a stress reaction in his left foot, so it's not clear if he'll immediately return to the starting five or if Phoenix will elect to ease him back into live action.

Trending in right direction
Williams (foot) remains listed as questionable for Thursday's game against the Hornets, but he's trending in the right direction and is expected to be cleared to play following pregame warmups Duane Rankin of The Arizona Republic reports.
Analyse
Williams appears set to return from a 15-game absence due to a stress reaction in the third metatarsal of his left foot. Given the length of his absence, Williams will likely be operating with a minutes restriction and could come off the bench if he plays.

Could return Thursday
Williams (foot) is listed as questionable for Thursday's game against the Hornets, Duane Rankin of The Arizona Republic reports.
Analyse
Williams has been progressing in his recovery from a stress reaction in the third metatarsal of his left foot. It's an injury that has prevented him from playing since March 3, but he was recently cleared for 5-on-5 at practice, and the fact that he's earned the questionable tag for Thursday's game -- rather than being ruled out immediately -- is a good sign for the fourth-year center. Should Williams return, Oso Ighodaro would likely see his role decrease in the Suns' rotation, though the former will likely operate under a minutes restriction once he's cleared to play.

Sitting out again
Williams (foot) is out for Tuesday's game against the Magic.
Analyse
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.
Analyse
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.
Analyse
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.
