Steps up with four blocks Ighodaro accumulated eight points (4-4 FG), six rebounds and four blocks across 28 minutes during Wednesday's 111-104 loss to the Rockets.

Impact Nick Richards missed this game with an ankle injury, and Mason Plumlee was ejected after 13 minutes of floor time after getting into a scrap with Steven Adams. If Plumlee is issued a suspension and/or Richards misses additional time, Ighodaro would offer plenty of appeal as a streaming option. In two starts this season, Ighodaro posted 9.5 points, 5.0 rebounds, 2.0 assists and 2.0 steals in 30.0 minutes.

Recalled by Phoenix The Suns recalled Ighodaro from the G League's Valley Suns on Friday.

Impact Ighodoro played for Valley against Capital City on Thursday and finished with 10 points, six rebounds, four assists and one block over 12 minutes. He was suited up for the Suns off the bench but did not play in Friday's overtime loss to the Nuggets. The rookie second-round pick should be available for Sunday's road game against the Mavericks.

MARCH 8 • ROTOWIRE

Sent to G League The Suns assigned Ighodaro to the G League's Valley Suns on Thursday.

Impact Ighodaro has logged just four total minutes across Phoenix's last five contests. However, the rookie big man should receive increased playing time in the G League.

Returns to parent club The Suns recalled Ighodaro from the G League's Valley Suns on Wednesday.

Impact Ighodaro has returned to the NBA after making his G League debut on Tuesday. The rookie big man is averaging 3.6 points, 3.1 rebounds and 1.3 assists in 16.7 minutes across his previous 10 appearances for Phoenix.

Increased role in victory Ighodaro amassed four points (2-4 FG), five rebounds, two assists, one block and one steal across 25 minutes during Thursday's 123-115 victory over the Hawks.

Impact The rookie saw significant playing time with Jusuf Nurkic falling out of the rotation in Thursday's win. Ighodaro has received fairly inconsistent playing time through the early part of the season, though he could be in for an increased role if Nurkic is traded, or remains limited in the rotation. Over his last five outings, Ighodaro has averaged 3.2 points and 4.2 rebounds in 17.8 minutes per contest.

Cleared to play Monday Ighodaro (illness) is not listed on the injury report for Monday's game against the 76ers.

Impact Ighodaro was sidelined for Saturday's loss to the Pacers due to an illness but will suit up Monday. Across 12 December appearances (one start), Ighodaro averaged 3.0 points, 3.2 rebounds and 1.0 assists in 15.4 minutes per game.

JANUARY 5 • ROTOWIRE

Out against Indiana Ighodaro (illness) will not play Saturday against the Pacers.

Impact The Suns will be very thin in the frontcourt with Jusuf Nurkic serving the final game of his suspension. Mason Plumlee will be asked to hold down the fort at center, while guys like Ryan Dunn and Bol Bol could potentially see some extra run.

JANUARY 4 • ROTOWIRE

Questionable with illness Ighodaro (illness) has been listed as questionable for Saturday's game against the Pacers.

Impact With Jusuf Nurkic serving a suspension and Royce O'Neale ruled out, the Suns might be without some big bodies in the paint against the Pacers on Saturday. Ighodaro could join them, which will likely pave the way for more minutes for Ryan Dunn and possibly Bol Bol.

Plays 17 minutes in loss Ighodaro registered two points (1-4 FG), two rebounds, one assist and two blocks in 17 minutes during Tuesday's 117-112 loss to Memphis.

Impact Ighodaro saw a few extra minutes once again, due to the fact Jusuf Nurkic is dealing with a muti-game suspension. Despite playing a somewhat consistent role, Ighodaro has been unable to move the needle. He has scored double-digits only twice, averaging 3.8 points and 3.7 rebounds in 15.9 minutes per game.

Back in bench role Ighodaro isn't in the starting lineup for Thursday's game against the Pelicans.

Impact The Suns will roll with Mason Plumlee at center Thursday evening despite Ighodaro putting together a decent final line Tuesday in a spot start against the Spurs. The Marquette product is averaging 3.8 points, 4.3 rebounds and 1.3 steals in 16.5 minutes over his last four appearances as a reserve.

Getting starting nod Ighodaro is in the starting five for Tuesday's game versus the Spurs.

Returns to bench Wednesday Ighodaro is not in the starting lineup for Wednesday's game against New York.

Impact Ighodaro returns to the second unit with Royce O'Neale and Jusuf Nurkic (ankle) entering the starting lineup. Ighodaro has flashed talent and athleticism en route to averaging 7.8 points and 6.0 rebounds in 24.2 minutes across his last five games, so it'll be interesting to monitor his usage from this juncture onward.

Respectable line in starting role Ighodaro had 12 points (6-8 FG, 0-1 FT), seven rebounds, two assists and two steals in 32 minutes during Monday's 109-99 loss to Orlando.

Impact Ighodaro has quickly turned into the best alternative at Kevin Durant's (calf) position after some strong performances from the bench. Royce O'Neale was expected to pick up most of the slack, but Phoenix's 2024 second-round pick has clearly outplayed him. Expect the Marquette product to log more starts over the next two weeks while Durant works his way back.

Starting Monday Ighodaro will enter the starting lineup in Monday's game against the Magic.

Impact With Kevin Durant (calf) and Jusuf Nurkic (ankle) out, Mason Plumlee and Ighodaro will shoulder the workload in the frontcourt. The rookie has carved out a significant role over his last five outings, during which he has averaged 6.4 points and 5.0 rebounds while shooting 60.0 percent from the field across 19.8 minutes per game.

NOVEMBER 19, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Season-high 11 points in loss Ighodaro finished with 11 points (5-7 FG, 1-2 FT), three rebounds and one assist across 26 minutes during Sunday's 120-117 loss to Minnesota.

Impact The rookie big man posted his first career game with double-digit points while surpassing Jusuf Nurkic in playing time Sunday. Ighodaro has begun to carve out a much more significant role with the club, and he has tallied 10-plus minutes in each of his last five appearances. Through nine regular-season games, the Marquette product has averaged 4.0 points and 3.8 rebounds across 14.4 minutes per game.

NOVEMBER 18, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Grabs seven boards in reserve role Ighodaro contributed six points (1-2 FG, 4-4 FT), seven rebounds, two assists and one block in 27 minutes during Friday's 99-83 loss to the Thunder.

Impact Jusuf Nurkic is off to an inconsistent start, and he was a step slower in the loss while dealing with an ankle injury. While it's still early in the season, Ighodaro is making an impact with the second unit and proving worthy of his second-round selection last season. The Marquette product is unlikely to ascend in the depth chart, but he's an apt fill-in for Nurkic in the event of another injury.

NOVEMBER 16, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Grabs career-high 12 rebounds Ighodaro amassed six points (3-5 FG), 12 rebounds and two blocks across 21 minutes during Tuesday's 120-112 win over the Jazz.

Impact Ighodaro managed to pull down a career-high 12 rebounds, sliding up in the rotation following an ankle injury to Jusuf Nurkic. Although Mason Plumlee got the starting nod, Ighodaro turned in a noteworthy performance of his own. If Nurkic misses additional time, it will be interesting to see what Ighodaro can do with extended run.
