“He has done more and more each day,” Williams said on Sunday, via ArizonaSports.com. “In his shooting and drills today, he looked pretty good. What that means in relation to playing, I can’t speak on that, because that’s something for our training staff and him.”

The Suns will enter the Monday evening matchup against the Mavericks sporting a 10-8 record on the year.

The Suns have won back-to-back games including the team's most recent outing on Saturday against the Mavericks. Phoenix defeated Dallas, a team that has struggled mightily this season, by the score of 111-105 over the weekend.

Not only that, but the Suns have carried over some major momentum from the “NBA bubble” as Phoenix impressed in a big way in Orlando to end the 2020 campaign.
