Double-double in SL win Maluach tallied 23 points (8-13 FG, 2-5 3Pt, 4-9 FT), 15 rebounds, one assist, one steal and one block across 28 minutes in Wednesday's 100-88 Summer League win over the Pistons.
Impact Maluach led his team with 23 points and pulled down a game-high 15 rebounds as part of a winning effort. The second-year center has impressed throughout the Las Vegas Summer League, scoring at least 15 points in all four appearances while recording a double-double in three straight contests. The Duke product played sparingly at the NBA level during the 2025-26 campaign, averaging 3.0 points and 2.9 rebounds in 8.9 minutes across 46 regular-season appearances (one start).

2026 NBA Summer League: Suns use defense, rebounding to edge Bucks Khaman Maluach leads the Suns with 21 points as Phoenix earn a win over the Bucks in Summer League action Monday.

Another productive showing Monday Maluach finished with 21 points (5-10 FG, 1-4 3Pt, 6-6 FT), 10 rebounds, two assists, one steal and four blocks across 27 minutes in Monday's 95-88 Summer League win over the Bucks...
Impact Maluach had another dominant performance Monday, recording his third double-double in as many games. The 2025 No. 10 overall pick out of Duke appeared in 46 regular-season games for the Suns during the 2025-26 campaign, averaging 3.0 points, 2.9 rebounds, 0.1 assists, 0.7 blocks and 0.1 steals over 8.9 minutes. Maluach is still young, so he has more work to do to develop his game. However, with Mark Williams having trouble staying healthy over the years, it wouldn't be surprising to see Maluach make some starts in 2026-27. Even if he doesn't, it's still reasonable to believe he will be more productive than he was during his inaugural season.

Hauls in 15 boards vs. NOLA Maluach recorded 15 points (5-9 FG, 2-4 3Pt, 2-3 FT), 15 rebounds, one assist and one steal over 28 minutes during the Suns' 81-75 Summer League loss to the Pelicans on Sunday.
Impact It was the second double-double in as many Summer League games for Maluach, who hauled in 15 of the Suns' 41 rebounds while finishing as the team's second-leading scorer behind Darius Brown (18 points). Maluach was a first-round pick of the Suns in the 2025 NBA Draft but averaged just 8.9 minutes per game in his rookie season. He figures to enter training camp competing with Oso Ighodaro for backup minutes at center behind Mark Williams (foot).

Khaman Maluach has a new issue to clean up that should excite fans regardless Khaman Maluach might have a turnover problem out at Summer League, but it will eventually lead to a bigger offensive impact for the Suns.
JULY 11 • VALLEYOFTHESUNS.COM
Records double-double Friday Maluach finished with 19 points (7-15 FG, 3-7 3Pt, 1-1 FT), 11 rebounds, two steals and one block across 26 minutes in Friday's 81-79 Summer League win over Portland.
Impact Maluach had a 19-point, 11-rebound double-double to begin his time in Las Vegas. He was efficient from deep, though he had trouble taking care of the ball and committed a game-high seven turnovers. The 2025 No. 10 overall pick appeared in 46 regular-season games for Phoenix during the 2025-26 campaign, finishing with averages of 3.0 points, 2.9 rebounds, 0.1 assists, 0.7 blocks and 0.1 steals over 8.9 minutes. Maluach is currently listed behind Mark Williams and Oso Ighodaro on the depth chart, but he will likely need to clean up some things before earning consistent minutes for the Suns in 2026-27.

Impact The rookie first-rounder struggled for consistent playing time in 2025-26, finishing with averages of 3.0 points, 2.9 rebounds and 0.7 blocks in 8.9 minutes per tilt through 46 regular-season games. Barring the Suns losing Mark Williams (foot) in restricted free agency, Maluach might have a hard time cracking Phoenix's Opening Night rotation in 2026-27 with Oso Ighodaro also in the picture.
