Suns coach: Ma Wei has not trained 5-on-5 yet and will not play in his first preseason game with the Lakers

October 2, Suns coach Jordan Ott was interviewed after training.

Ott said Mark Williams will miss the preseason opening game against the Lakers on Saturday. He said: "From July 1st to now, he has invested more time in the team's training hall than anyone else, and the core is to improve physical strength. During this period, I think his lower limb strength has more than doubled. At present, in training, except for the actual 5-on-5 confrontation stage, he can complete all the training content we require. We have a clear plan for him and are clear about his situation in the past three seasons, so he will promote his recovery and adaptation as planned in the future. Before the Chinese Games, the training arrangement will not change. When we return from the Chinese Games, we will continue to evaluate his status. He has now It was the best within his ability, but he has not participated in the actual combat 5-on-5 at this stage. "

When asked whether Williams will play in the other three preseason games, Ultra: "We are accurately evaluating his current recovery progress. At the end of the training camp, let him reach the level of play as much as possible, which is our goal. His current progress is very smooth, as I said before, he can participate in all basic training, but he has not yet participated in the actual combat 5-on-5 session."

Mark Williams has only played 106 games in the past three NBA seasons.
