Suns' Oso Ighodaro: Returns to bench Wednesday
Ighodaro is not in the starting lineup for Wednesday's game against New York.
Ighodaro returns to the second unit with Royce O'Neale and Jusuf Nurkic (ankle) entering the starting lineup. Ighodaro has flashed talent and athleticism en route to averaging 7.8 points and 6.0 rebounds in 24.2 minutes across his last five games, so it'll be interesting to monitor his usage from this juncture onward.

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: Starting Monday
Ighodaro will enter the starting lineup in Monday's game against the Magic.
With Kevin Durant (calf) and Jusuf Nurkic (ankle) out, Mason Plumlee and Ighodaro will shoulder the workload in the frontcourt. The rookie has carved out a significant role over his last five outings, during which he has averaged 6.4 points and 5.0 rebounds while shooting 60.0 percent from the field across 19.8 minutes per game.

Suns' Oso Ighodaro: Season-high 11 points in loss
Ighodaro finished with 11 points (5-7 FG, 1-2 FT), three rebounds and one assist across 26 minutes during Sunday's 120-117 loss to Minnesota.
The rookie big man posted his first career game with double-digit points while surpassing Jusuf Nurkic in playing time Sunday. Ighodaro has begun to carve out a much more significant role with the club, and he has tallied 10-plus minutes in each of his last five appearances. Through nine regular-season games, the Marquette product has averaged 4.0 points and 3.8 rebounds across 14.4 minutes per game.

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.

Suns' Oso Ighodaro: Grabs career-high 12 rebounds
Ighodaro amassed six points (3-5 FG), 12 rebounds and two blocks across 21 minutes during Tuesday's 120-112 win over the Jazz.
Ighodaro managed to pull down a career-high 12 rebounds, sliding up in the rotation following an ankle injury to Jusuf Nurkic. Although Mason Plumlee got the starting nod, Ighodaro turned in a noteworthy performance of his own. If Nurkic misses additional time, it will be interesting to see what Ighodaro can do with extended run.

He's shot 13-for-26 from the field in five Summer League appearances while averaging 6.0 rebounds, 4.2 assists and 2.4 combined steals-plus-blocks per game. The Marquette product could push Mason Plumlee for minutes behind starter Jusuf Nurkic this season.

Suns' Oso Ighodaro: Drafted by Phoenix
The Suns drafted Ighodaro with the No. 40 overall pick in the second round of the 2024 NBA Draft, Shams Charania of The Athletic reports.
Ighodaro spent the last four years at Marquette before declaring for the NBA Draft. As a senior in 2023-24, he averaged 13.4 points, 6.9 rebounds, 2.9 assists, 1.3 blocks and 1.1 steals in 36 games. At 6-10, Ighodaro has the size and all-around skillset to contribute right away in the frontcourt, likely making him the backup center to Jusuf Nurkic.
