Deandre Ayton played just 17 minutes in the Phoenix Suns' 123-90 Game 7 elimination.

Ayton was removed from the game early in the third quarter and did not play again after a verbal confrontation with Monty Williams. 

"It's internal," said Williams when asked about Ayton's minutes after the game.

Ayton will be a restricted free agent this offseason after the Phoenix Suns were unable to sign him to a contract.
