The Suns have re-signed center Mark Williams to a fully guaranteed three-year, $38 million deal, according to ESPN.

Williams played 60 games for the Suns this season, averaging 11.7 points, 8.0 rebounds, 1.0 assists and 0.9 blocks.

He joined Phoenix this season after spending three years with the Hornets, where he was drafted No. 15 overall from Duke in 2022.

Despite being a starter, Williams will be the 34th-highest-paid center in the league in total value and 32nd in AAV, according to Spotrac.

This is largely because of the fully guaranteed nature of the deal, parlayed with the fact that Williams has had trouble remaining available for long stretches of his career — missing 162 games in his first four seasons in the league.

Williams has dealt with a nagging foot injury for the better part of his NBA career to this point.

It kept him out of the four-game series loss to the Thunder in the first round of the NBA playoffs this season.

The Suns surprised many last season with a 45-37 record and only slowed down at the end because of injuries.

The Williams deal, as well as re-signing rotation guards Collin Gillespie and Jordan Goodwin for four- and three-year deals, respectively, show their intent to run it back in 2026-27 with a similar core.

The Suns acquired Williams from the Hornets in a draft-day trade.

He had previously been traded to the Lakers on the 2025 deadline day, but the deal was rescinded after he failed his physical in Los Angeles.
