If you haven’t yet read Dave King’s article covering the fact that Phoenix Suns’ Head Coach Monty Williams hasn’t spoken to center Deandre Ayton in some five months since an altercation on the sidelines during the team’s game seven loss to the Dallas Mavericks, do that now. I can wait.
I’ve been the first guy to want to move on from the sordid Robert Sarver affair and talk about real basketball. But this demands a closer look, because this is not normal. As Dave noted, these guys have been in close proximity for weeks and have had plenty of time and chances to air this out.
