Monty Williams said starting Bismack Biyombo in the second half last night with Deandre Ayton out was more so because of Jonas Valanciunas’ size and physicality, but he did acknowledge the value of Jock Landale being in the same second unit lineups for continuity – 5:05 PM

“Next man up.” Bismack Biyombo as he went for 11 points and 13 rebounds in #Suns win over #Pelicans as Deandre Ayton left game with left ankle sprain.
Gave a shout out to assistant Mark Bryant for working with him. Was in gym with him last night. pic.twitter.com/WUYzXETg1o – 1:10 AM

Really nice to have a guy like Bismack Biyombo able to come in and have an impact as your 3rd center. Still no Deandre Ayton on the bench, but the Suns are back up 10 – 11:10 PM

Deandre Ayton grabbed his ankle after that last missed jumper and was slow to get back down the court. Jock Landale will check in for him while Ayton gets looked at on the bench during the timeout – 10:30 PM

They’re looking at Ayton’s ankle now. I want to say it was his right ankle, but I’m not sure. #Suns – 10:30 PM

Ayton grabbed at his right ankle after landing on a jumper. Got back up but was struggling to get up and down the floor. Landale is coming in. – 10:30 PM

Monty Williams said “it could be tonight” in regards to Deandre Ayton and Jock Landale possibly seeing the floor together (like they’ve said they’ve wanted). But of course he had to get a joke in first: pic.twitter.com/Cn3dqZ5C87 – 8:27 PM

Duane Rankin: Monty Williams doesn’t think Jonas Valanciunas did that on purpose with his foot, but thought he should’ve been called for a foul on Deandre Ayton, who sprained his left ankle on the play. #Suns -via Twitter @DuaneRankin / October 29, 2022
Duane Rankin: “Y’all relax.” Deandre Ayton talking to #Suns fans about foul trouble as he’s planning not to have that problem in the postseason.
