26 Jun
Summary
- Mark Williams agreed to a three-year, $38 million contract.
- Williams joined the Suns last offseason via a draft night trade.
- Health concerns have limited Williams' previous seasons.
Phoenix Suns starting center Mark Williams has agreed to a new three-year contract worth $38 million, ensuring his return to the team. Williams, who was a restricted free agent, was acquired by the Suns last offseason through a draft night trade.
During his first season with the Suns, Williams established himself as a quality starter, contributing to the team's playoff appearance. However, his season was hampered by a foot fracture that sidelined him for most of March. Health has been a recurring challenge for Williams, as he has yet to play in over 60 games in any single season.
This new deal marks a successful free agency period for the Suns, who have now re-signed all their priority free agents. The team also recently secured Collin Gillespie with a four-year, $48 million deal and Jordan Goodwin on a three-year, $19 million contract. With these moves, Phoenix appears poised to retain the majority of its key players from the prior season.
