Alan Williams Suffers Partially Torn Meniscus 

Post#1 » by RealGM Wiretap » Sat Sep 23, 2017 12:36 am

The Phoenix Suns fear Alan Williams suffered a partially torn meniscus.


An MRI will confirm the extent of the injury on Saturday.


Williams suffered the injury when landing on the foot of a teammate during a workout.


Williams signed a three-year, $17 million deal with the Suns in the offseason.

Was it pre-Bennett signing or post-Bennett signing?

After.

Bennett got a non-guaranteed contract, so I think he's headed for the G-League, if anything.

This might change that?

Not likely, there are already enough guaranteed contracts to fill the 15 roster spots. And just because Williams, Knight, Reed and Dudley won't be available at the beginning of the season doesn't mean they don't take up roster spots.

They still have Chandler, Len, Chriss, Bender, Warren, Jackson, Jones, Bledsoe, Ulis, Booker and Daniels.

The Disabled Player Exception?

They already have more cap space than they would get from a disabled player exception for Knight.

They might be able to sign another player?
