Suns' Oso Ighodaro: Career-high in boards Friday
Rotowire
Ighodaro totaled six points (3-7 FG), 13 rebounds and four assists over 44 minutes during Friday's 123-112 win over Cleveland.
The 2024 second-rounder 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.

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

Suns' Oso Ighodaro: Returns to parent club
Rotowire
Ighodaro recorded no statistics while playing the final 20 seconds of Wednesday's 121-113 loss to the Timberwolves.
After making his G League debut Tuesday in the Valley Suns' win over the Salt Lake City Stars, Ighodaro rejoined the parent club ahead of Wednesday's contest. The rookie second-round pick remained out of head coach Mike Budenholzer's rotation, as fellow centers Nick Richards and Mason Plumlee both played ahead of him.
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.
The rookie saw significant playing time due to 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.
