Suns' Oso Ighodaro: Respectable line in starting role
Ighodaro had 12 points (6-8 FG, 0-1 FT), seven rebounds, two assists and two steals in 32 minutes during Monday's 109-99 loss to Orlando.
With Bradley Beal (calf) and Kevin Durant (calf) both sidelined, the Suns have been looking for answers on the wings. Ighodaro got his first crack with the first unit Monday, joining fellow rookie Ryan Dunn, who's been a mainstay in Durant's absence. Ighodaro made his presence felt and could earn more playing time moving forward, especially if Beal remains out. However, Ighodaro's role will likely fluctuate, especially with Grayson Allen and Josh Okogie playing well off the bench.

Suns' Oso Ighodaro: Grabs seven boards in reserve role
Ighodaro contributed six points (1-2 FG, 4-4 FT), seven rebounds, two assists and one block in 27 minutes during Friday's 99-83 loss to the Thunder.
Jusuf Nurkic is off to an inconsistent start, and he was a step slower in the loss while dealing with an ankle injury. While it's still early in the season, Ighodaro is making an impact with the second unit and proving worthy of his second-round selection last season. The Marquette product is unlikely to ascend up the depth chart, but he's an apt fill-in for Nurkic in the event of another injury.

If Nurkic misses additional time, it will be interesting to see what Ighodaro can do with extended run.
