Baynes had COVID-19, Okobo and Lecque away from Suns for ‘personal reasons’

Monty Williams and the Suns have been quiet about who is and isn’t at the Wide World of Sports Complex in Orlando, but observers had noticed that Aron Baynes was conspicuously absent from practice footage and media sessions. The mystery was sorted out Wednesday when Baynes gave an interview to Shams Charania of Stadium discussing his COVID-19 diagnosis and the toll it took on his body and the lives of his wife and children.
