On “Skip and Shannon: Undisputed,” Skip Bayless said the confrontation surprised him.

Bayless also shared what rapper Lil Wayne, a frequent guest of the show, said about the incident. Wayne was present courtside for the game between the Mavericks and the Suns. He witnessed the disagreement between Ayton and Williams. Here’s what Bayless shared from Wayne’s version of events:

Skip Bayless believes incident between Deandre Ayton, Monty Williams will “fester”

According to Bayless, this isn’t the end of the matter. There will be lingering unpleasantness between Deandre Ayton and Monty Williams as the Phoenix Suns begin their 2022-23 season.

Deandre Ayton played just 17 minutes, putting up five points and four rebounds in the Game 7 loss. The root of Monty Williams’ frustration with Ayton stems from there.

Next, Ayton signed a four-year, $133 million offer made to him by the Indiana Pacers. The Suns matched the offer, retaining Ayton. There was disappointment in the Ayton camp with the Suns not giving him a longer, more secure contract.

Now, as training camp gets underway, it remains to be seen whether Wiliams and Ayton can mend their relationship or will things get worse.
