Khaman Maluach News, Rumors, Updates - Phoenix Suns

Logs nine rebounds from bench Maluach accumulated four points (2-4 FG), nine rebounds and two blocks in 20 minutes during Sunday's 111-99 victory over the Hornets.

Impact Mark Williams (foot) will be out for a few more weeks, and although Oso Ighodaro has the inside track for Williams' minutes, the team will give their 2025 first-round pick every opportunity to make an impact. The Duke product has struggled to stay healthy, but he made great strides in the G League and should serve as the team's second option under the basket until Williams returns.

Swats five shots in victory Maluach logged four points (2-3 FG), four rebounds, one assist and five blocks across 20 minutes during Friday's 118-116 win over New Orleans.

Impact With Mark Williams (foot) sidelined, Maluach finally has a chance for consistent minutes at the NBA level. The rookie's 20 minutes Friday marked a career high, and it was only the sixth time the Duke product has exceeded double-digit minutes. If Maluach can continue to protect the paint like he did Friday, he should see steady playing time until Williams can return to action.

Good to go Tuesday Maluach (thumb) will be available for Tuesday's game against the Kings.

Impact Maluach had been listed as questionable for Tuesday's contest due to a right thumb sprain but will be able to play through the injury. He'll provide depth at center behind Mark Williams and Oso Ighodaro but likely won't see any playing time while Tuesday's game remains competitive.

Dealing with thumb injury Maluach (thumb) is questionable for Tuesday's game against the Kings.

Impact Maluach, who was recalled from the G League on Sunday, is dealing with a right thumb sprain that clouds his availability for Tuesday's contest. The Duke product is averaging just 5.3 minutes per game across 26 NBA appearances this season, so even if active, there's no guarantee he'll see the floor.

Recalled by Phoenix Phoenix recalled Maluach from the G League's Valley Suns on Sunday.

Impact Maluach hasn't seen many opportunities at the NBA level with 26 appearances and 5.3 minutes per contest, so he's likely to be an emergency depth option Tuesday against the Kings.

MARCH 2 • ROTOWIRE

Assigned to G League Phoenix assigned Maluach to the G League's Valley Suns on Friday.

Impact The rookie first-rounder hasn't seen the floor at all in four of Phoenix's last eight games. That said, Maluach will look for steadier reps in the G League in the interim.

Remain in rotation Maluach ended Tuesday's 97-81 loss to the Celtics with five points (2-3 FG, 1-1 3Pt, 0-1 FT), two rebounds and one block over six minutes.

Impact Maluach remained in the rotation, suiting up for the fourth time in the past five games. Phoenix is in a world of hurt at the moment, with its record quietly heading in the wrong direction. While it has been encouraging to see Maluach on the floor, the majority of his minutes have come during garbage time. At this point, there is no reason to consider picking him up, outside of dynasty formats.

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.

JANUARY 25 • ROTOWIRE

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.

JANUARY 25 • ROTOWIRE

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.

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.

DECEMBER 13, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

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.
