Phoenix Suns coach Monty Williams talked about the firing of Steve Nash in Brooklyn and several topics before Tuesday's game against Minnesota.
"I heard it when our shootaround started this morning. Just felt bad for him. Never seen that guy have a bad day. He's always smiling, high-fiving. He could come to a straight-jacket convention and still figure out a way to high-five somebody. He's that kind of dude. To see him go down like that was pretty tough to hear this morning. I just feel for him and his family.
" "When we found out the news about Ish's situation, they all were taking aback by that. Not many of them even knew. I didn't even know till a couple of days ago what was going on. They have supported him the way they always do when something comes up."Ayton was out getting up shots before Tuesday's game. He might return before Phoenix concludes its six-game homestand with a back-to-back against Portland on Friday and Saturday.
