Report: Suns sign Duop Reath

Duop Reath

PHX Center

Player Stats

ESPN’s Shams Charania reports that the Suns signed Duop Reath to a one-year deal.

With Mark Williams set to miss months after shoulder surgery, the Suns reportedly add another frontcourt option. Reath appeared in 32 games for the Trail Blazers last season before the Hawks acquired him ahead of the February trade deadline, and Atlanta waived him shortly after. Reath played just 8.1 minutes per game in Portland before undergoing foot surgery in January. While healthy, his prospects for achieving fantasy relevance in Phoenix aren’t much better. Khaman Maluach and Oso Ighodaro will be Williams’ primary replacements, with Ighodaro starting 24 games last season.

Oso Ighodaro

PHX Forward #11

Personalize your Rotoworld feed by favoriting players

Oso Ighodaro (oblique) is doubtful for Saturday’s game against the Warriors.

Ighodaro, initially believed to have suffered a hip injury during Wednesday’s loss to the Trail Blazers, has been diagnosed with an oblique strain. His absence on Saturday would likely result in Duop Reath playing rotation minutes off the bench, with Khaman Maluach remaining the starting center.
Khaman Maluach

PHX Center #10

Khaman Maluach tallied two points (1-of-2 FGs), six rebounds, one assist and one blocked shot in Wednesday’s loss to the Trail Blazers.

Maluach started Wednesday’s season opener, but the second-year center did not rise to the occasion. He played 17 minutes, and that’s with backup Oso Ighodaro exiting just before halftime with a hip injury. While a popular sleeper pick in fantasy basketball, Wednesday was a reminder that Maluach will need time, especially when considering the lack of playing time as a rookie.
Oso Ighodaro

PHX Forward #11

Oso Ighodaro (hip) will not return to Wednesday’s game against the Trail Blazers.

Ighodaro took a hit to his right hip during the second quarter of Wednesday’s game. Although he initially tried to play through the injury, the 7-footer was subbed out with just over a minute left in the half. Ighodaro didn’t return to the bench for the third quarter, and he’s done for the night. Khaman Maluach, who started Wednesday’s game, should play more minutes while Duop Reath slides into the back end of the rotation.
Koby Brea

FA Guard #14

Suns waived Koby Brea.

Hours after reports emerged that the Suns would waive Brea, the team made it official. With CJ Huntley also being waived, the Suns have two open two-way contract slots. With Mark Williams injured, one of those contracts will go to Duop Reath, who was in training camp on an Exhibit 10 deal.
Oso Ighodaro

PHX Forward #11

ESPN’s Shams Charania reports that the Suns and Oso Ighodaro agreed to a three-year, $29 million extension.

The 40th overall pick in the 2024 draft, Ighodaro appeared in all 82 games for the Suns last season, starting 24. In those outings, he averaged 6.5 points, 5.1 rebounds, 2.3 assists and 0.9 steals in 22.0 minutes per game. With Mark Williams sidelined due to injury, Ighodaro could begin the season as Phoenix’s starting center, with Khaman Maluach as his competition. Regardless of who wins the job, both will play rotation minutes. The contract gives Ighodaro added security, but that doesn’t change much regarding his fantasy outlook. He’s a late-round option at best.
Khaman Maluach

PHX Center #10

Khaman Maluach had 7 points (2-of-4 FGs, 3-of-4 FTs), 12 rebounds, a steal and a block against Jazz

Khaman Maluach is a good per minute producer while not demanding the ball. While he still can be raw, he’s improved to the point where he should play a role with Oso Ighodaro as the other center. He should be a good flyer in the back end of drafts.
Khaman Maluach

SAS Forward-Center #1

The Suns are starting Jamaree Bouyea, Luke Kennard, Ryan Dunn, Haywood Highsmith, and Khaman Maluach in Wednesday’s Exhibition against the Spurs.

The Suns are replacing Jalen Green and Dillon Brooks with Jamaree Bouyea and Haywood Highsmith from last Saturday’s exhibition. Jordan Goodwin will come off the bench as well.
Khaman Maluach

PHX Center #10

Khaman Maluach amassed 10 points (4-of-9 FGs, 1-of-1 FTs), 15 rebounds, three assists, one steal, one block and one three-pointer in Saturday’s exhibition against the Spurs.

After coming off the bench in the Suns’ first two exhibition games, Maluach received the starting nod on Saturday. The second-year center held his own, leading all players with 15 rebounds while also recording a double-double. Oso Ighodaro (8/4/5/2/2) was the replacement in the starting lineup last season when Mark Williams missed time, but many believe Maluach offers a higher fantasy ceiling. He’s worth grabbing with a late-round pick in drafts, with the potential to deliver more value if Maluach earns the starting center role.
Oso Ighodaro

PHX Forward #11

Oso Ighodaro finished Wednesday’s exhibition against the Bulls with eight points (4-of-6 FGs, 0-of-2 FTs), two rebounds, two assists and one steal.

The Suns have played two preseason games, and Ighodaro started both at center. While this may disappoint fans hoping to see Khaman Maluach (six points, seven rebounds and four assists) take the reins with Mark Williams (shoulder) injured, Oso starting isn’t a major surprise. He started 24 of the Suns’ 82 games last season and appears better equipped than Maluach to help the Suns immediately. However, Ighodaro starting the first two games doesn’t mean the final decision is made. This position battle is worth tracking through the rest of the preseason.
Khaman Maluach

PHX Center #10

Khaman Maluach scored six points (3-of-5 FGs, 0-for-3 FTs), two rebounds and one block over 16 minutes in Monday’s preseason loss to the Pistons.

Maluach played nearly 10 minutes off the bench alongside Phoenix’s main rotation players in the first half, which is notable given he’s likely in line for an expanded role behind Oso Ighodaro while Mark Williams recovers from shoulder surgery. The 20-year-old former lottery pick enters his second season as a viable rotation piece as an interior defender who can help Phoenix defensively without being a non-factor at the other end of the floor. He’ll be a late-round option in most fantasy leagues, but Maluach is a name to watch early in the season to see whether his role expands.

Marcus Smart (forearm) is questionable for Saturday’s game against the Hawks.

Smart was downgraded to questionable with a forearm injury Saturday afternoon. With Fred VanVleet (knee) already ruled out, it was assumed Smart would likely start against the Hawks. With him popping up on an injury report that also includes Reed Sheppard (knee), the Rockets’ backcourt depth could be tested here.
