Oso Ighodaro News, Rumors, Updates - Phoenix Suns

Scoreless in start Ighodaro recorded zero points (0-3 FG), nine rebounds and three assists across 26 minutes during Sunday's 119-84 loss to the Thunder in Game 1 of the first round of the Western Con...

Impact Ighodaro remained in the starting lineup after Mark Williams was once again ruled out due to a foot concern. However, the good news ends there, with Ighodaro failing to score despite playing 26 minutes. Phoenix was completely outplayed on both ends of the floor, a trend that is going to be hard to buck. If Williams is to miss further time, Ighodaro will certainly need to provide more, should the Suns have any hope against the rampaging Thunder.

Drops 10 points in spot start Ighodaro provided 10 points (4-6 FG, 2-2 FT), six rebounds, one assist, one block and one steal in 26 minutes during Friday's 111-96 Play-In Game win over Golden State.

Impact With Mark Williams (foot) sidelined, Ighodaro moved back into the starting lineup. Although he was able to chip in across the board, it was far from a dominant performance. Phoenix will now face Oklahoma City in the first round of the playoffs. Assuming Williams is cleared to return, expect to see Ighodaro coming off the bench, likely playing around 23 minutes per night.

He's put up 11 or more points in six of his last seven outings and is averaging 6.9 rebounds, 3.7 assists and 1.0 steals during this stretch.

Three rejections in win Ighodaro notched six points (3-5 FG), seven rebounds, one assist, three blocks and one steal in 26 minutes during Sunday's 120-98 victory over the Raptors.

Impact The second-year center had gone five straight games without recording a block, but he made an impact at the rim Sunday as he tied his season high in rejections. Ighodaro has started 11 straight contests in place of Mark Williams (foot), averaging 8.8 points, 6.1 boards, 3.5 assists, 0.9 steals and 0.8 blocks in 29.1 minutes over that stretch while shooting 67.7 percent from the floor.

Enjoying uptick in minutes Ighodaro had 15 points (7-10 FG, 1-2 FT), seven rebounds, seven assists and one steal in 34 minutes during Thursday's 101-100 loss to San Antonio.

Impact Ighodaro didn't repeat the season-best effort he delivered in the loss to Minnesota on Tuesday, when he finished with 16 points and 10 boards, but he still delivered a strong line here -- he ended just three assists and three boards away from a double-double. Ighodaro has scored in double digits in four of his last nine starts, and while he's averaging 8.8 points and 6.1 rebounds per game in that span, he's definitely trending in the right direction after his two excellent performances against the Timberwolves and Spurs.

Season-best performance Ighodaro closed with 16 points (7-12 FG, 2-2 FT), 10 rebounds, four assists and three steals in 34 minutes during Tuesday's 116-104 loss to the Timberwolves.

Impact Ighodaro finally got things moving in the right direction, putting up easily his best performance since joining the starting unit. Despite the five-game week, Ighodaro's production had been highly disappointing prior to Tuesday, making him a tough hold in standard leagues. This effort should be enough to at least convince managers that the potential is there. While he might not be this good every night, the hope is that he can build off this performance, starting with Thursday's game against the Spurs.

MARCH 18 • ROTOWIRE

Continues to start Ighodaro totaled six points (2-4 FG, 2-4 FT), five rebounds, four assists and three blocks across 25 minutes during Thursday's 123-108 victory over the Pacers.

Impact Ighodaro notably tallied three blocks in Thursday's win, matching a season high and highlighting his defensive impact as a rim protector. The rookie has now started five straight games for the Suns following the news that Mark Williams (foot) will be sidelined for at least 2-to-3 weeks with a stress reaction. During this starting stretch, Ighodaro has seen a significant jump in his workload, averaging 27.4 minutes per game.

MARCH 13 • ROTOWIRE

Continues to produce Ighodaro ended with 13 points (5-7 FG, 3-5 FT), six rebounds, one assist, one block and one steal in 27 minutes before fouling out of Friday's 118-116 victory over New Orleans.

Impact With Mark Williams (foot) sidelined, Ighodaro has a clear path to consistent production. Over the past four games (two straight starts), Ighodaro has averaged 11.3 points, 8.3 rebounds, 2.8 assists, 1.3 blocks and 1.0 steals in 30.8 minutes per game. He's shooting a phenomenal 77.8 percent from the field but only 37.5 percent from the free-throw line (3-for-8).

Impact The 2024 second-rounder will make his eighth start of the season Thursday (and first since Dec. 29 against the Wizards) due to the absence of Mark Williams, the latter of whom is expected to miss at least 2-to-3 weeks due to a left foot injury. Ighodoro is coming off a strong performance against the Kings on Tuesday, when he logged 14 points, 14 rebounds, three assists and one block over 26 minutes.
