Phoenix Suns center Deandre Ayton and head coach Monty Williams got into an animated exchange during a loss to the Washington Wizards Tuesday night.
Like Williams, Ayton downplayed the exchange after the game.
"We weren't really exchanging words," Ayton said."We're a family. He knows how to talk to his boys and his boys know how to just communicate. Obviously, the whole world see it, but it's really all love and just getting us back to regroup and just take out the confusion." The loss snaps a three-game winning streak for Phoenix, which lost five straight prior to the streak.
Head coach Monty Williams of the Suns stands with Deandre Ayton at Footprint Center on Oct. 25, 2022, in Phoenix. The relationship between Ayton and Williams came into question over the offseason after Ayton was benched during the Suns’ Game 7 loss to the Dallas Mavericks in the Western Conference Semifinals.
