Khaman Maluach News, Rumors, Updates - Phoenix Suns

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.

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.

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.

Recalled Saturday The Suns recalled Maluach from the G League's Valley Suns on Saturday.

Impact Maluah joined the Suns' G League affiliate for Friday's loss to the Rip City Remix, posting nine points (2-5 FG, 1-1 3Pt, 3-3 FT), three rebounds, three blocks, two assists and two steals across 26 minutes. The rookie first-rounder has logged double-digit minutes just once for the parent club, so it wouldn't be surprising to see him get some reps in with the Valley Suns moving forward.

Still a non-factor Maluach posted two points (1-2 FG, 0-1 3Pt), two rebounds and one block across six minutes during Thursday's 133-98 win over the Pacers.

Impact Even with Mark Williams (rest) getting the night off for maintenance, the rookie logged just six minutes on the night. He's an intriguing long-term project for the Suns, but it's clear the team is going to bring him along very slowly.

OCTOBER 15, 2025 • VALLEYOFTHESUNS.COM

Impressive showing in preseason win Maluach tallied 17 points (8-10 FG, 1-1 3Pt), eight rebounds, three steals, two blocks and two assists across 31 minutes in Tuesday's 113-104 preseason win over the Lakers.

Impact Maluach showcased exactly why he was taken No. 10 overall in the 2025 NBA Draft on Tuesday, even connecting on a rare three-pointer. The Duke product is a gifted physical specimen, enabling him to be a force around the rim on both ends of the court. While still considered somewhat raw, Maluach's preseason performance is an encouraging sign for the Suns as they determine how much playing time and responsibility to give him during his rookie campaign.

Starting Tuesday Maluach is in the starting lineup for Tuesday's exhibition against the Lakers, Daniel Starkand of LakersNation.com reports.

Impact Maluach is getting the start with Nick Richards (rest) and Oso Ighodaro (rest) joining Mark Williams (undisclosed) on the sidelines, so Maluach could be flirting with 30 minutes Tuesday evening. While he'll have some time to shine in Tuesday's exhibition, he's buried on the depth chart in Phoenix, so he's not worth targeting in most formats.
