Khaman Maluach News, Rumors, Updates - Phoenix Suns

Returns from G League assignment Phoenix recalled Maluach from the G League's Valley Suns on Friday.

Impact Maluach was initially assigned to the G League squad Friday but was quickly called back to the NBA club, where he's expected to play a bench role Saturday versus Philadelphia. He has failed to log more than three minutes in any of his last four NBA appearances, averaging 0.5 points and 0.5 rebounds per game over that span. At the G League level, he has produced seven consecutive double-doubles, so he'll be more valuable in that competition if he's assigned again in the future.

Recalled to NBA Phoenix recalled Maluach from the G League's Valley Suns on Sunday after a brief assignment.

Impact Maluach was assigned and recalled on the same day, likely done to continue his development with Phoenix's G League affiliate before the rookie rejoined the team on Monday. Maluach has made appearances in four of the Suns' last five games, averaging 0.5 points, 0.5 rebounds and 0.3 blocks across 2.8 minutes in that span.

FEBRUARY 2 • ROTOWIRE

Available for Phoenix on Sunday Maluach will be available for Phoenix's game against Miami on Sunday after playing for the Valley Suns in the G League, Duane Rankin of The Arizona Republic reports.

Impact Maluach played 37 minutes during the Valley Suns' 102-91 loss to the Austin Spurs on Sunday, finishing with 13 points (5-10 FG, 3-6 3Pt), four rebounds, one assist and one steal. The rookie first-rounder will be with the parent club for its contest Sunday, and he could make his first appearance in an NBA-level game since Jan. 11 against the Wizards.

Back to G League Phoenix assigned Maluach to the G League Valley Suns on Sunday.

Impact The rookie first-rounder has averaged just 4.7 minutes per game across 18 appearances in the NBA this season, with his last appearance taking place Jan. 11 against the Wizards. He'll get some more reps in the G League, where he is averaging 16.9 points, 11.9 rebounds, 1.0 assists, 1.0 threes and 2.7 blocks over 29.8 minutes per game across seven appearances with the Valley Suns.

Recalled to NBA on Thursday Phoenix recalled Maluach from the G League's Valley Suns on Thursday.

Impact Maluach has gone back and forth between the NBA and G League teams throughout the season and remains unlikely to earn significant opportunities in Phoenix's rotation. However, he'll be available ahead of Friday's clash with the Hawks. During his most recent spell in the G League, the rookie logged a double-double against the Stockton Kings.

JANUARY 23 • ROTOWIRE

Rare appearance Wednesday Maluach registered zero points (0-1 FG, 0-1 3Pt), one rebound and one assist over four minutes during Wednesday's 117-98 victory over Memphis.

Impact Maluach appeared for just the fourth time in the past eight games, bringing his season total to 17 games. All but one of his appearances have come during garbage time, resulting in averages of just 1.4 points and 1.0 rebounds in 4.6 minutes per game. Outside of dynasty formats, Maluach has no fantasy value.

JANUARY 8 • ROTOWIRE

Recalled to NBA Phoenix recalled Maluach from the G League's Valley Suns on Tuesday.

Impact Maluach continues to split time between the two clubs. In six games with the Valley Suns, Maluach averages 15.8 points, 12.0 rebounds, 1.2 assists, 0.5 steals and 3.0 blocks across 29.8 minutes.

DECEMBER 17, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Assigned to G League Maluach has been assigned to the Valley Suns of the G League on Monday.

Impact Despite being a lottery pick, Maluach has spent more time in the G League than on an NBA court, primarily because of Phoenix's depth at the center position, since Maluach is playing behind the likes of Mark Williams, Oso Ighodaro and Nick Richards. If one of the aforementioned big men were to miss time, Maluach would likely be elevated to step in their spot, but as of now he will continue to split time between the Phoenix Suns and their G League affiliate.

Muted role continues Wednesday Maluach chipped in two points (1-3 FG, 0-1 3Pt), three rebounds and one assist in 10 minutes during Wednesday's 138-89 loss to Oklahoma City.

Impact Maluach continues to play limited minutes off the bench, typically used during garbage time only. In 12 appearances thus far this season, the rookie is averaging just 1.4 points and 1.0 rebounds in 4.9 minutes per contest.
