He had set the scene on the Suns’ first day of practice. “I haven’t spoken to Monty Williams at all since the game” had launched Deandre Aytonreferring to Game 7 of the heavily lost conference semi-final against the Mavericks.
With one week left before the start of the regular season, Deandre Ayton has confirmed that he has finally renewed the dialogue with his coach.
“Yes, we are talking, of course. Everything is back to normal and nothing has changed”he said, slightly contradicting himself, at the Arizona Republic. “Yes, I probably came the first day without saying anything, but I didn’t want to tell a story or anything, it escaped me. »

“Monty and I are talking. Everyone knows my relationship with him. Those who want to stir up shit, I let them. I don’t have time to waste on that, we’re here to work and try to win the title. All I know is that we worked, we fought during the training camp and the coach loved it. »
