Career-high in boards Friday Ighodaro totaled six points (3-7 FG), 13 rebounds and four assists over 44 minutes during Friday's 123-112 win over Cleveland.

Impact The 2024 second-round saw a career-high workload with Nick Richards (calf) and Mason Plumlee (quadriceps) both unavailable, and Ighodaro turned the opportunity into his best performance yet on the glass. He's played at least 20 minutes in six straight games, averaging 7.0 points, 7.3 boards, 2.3 assists and 1.0 blocks during that span while shooting 70.4 percent from the floor, and Ighodaro could retain a significant role in the frontcourt rotation even after Richards returns to the lineup.

Booker and Durant each score 22 points as Suns beat Kings 122-106

Devin Booker had 22 points and 13 assists, Kevin Durant also scored 22 points and the Phoenix Suns beat the Sacramento Kings 122-106 on Friday night

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, 2025 • 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.

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, 2025 • 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.
