Oso Ighodaro starts again, scores eight points

Oso Ighodaro

PHX Forward #11

Player Stats

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.

Oso Ighodaro (oblique) is available for Friday’s game against the Nuggets.

Ighodaro is back after a two-game absence, adding frontcourt depth for the Suns. Depending on how much he plays, Oso’s return could push Duop Reath out of the rotation entirely.

PHX Forward #11

Suns head coach Jordan Ott said that he expects Oso Ighodaro (oblique) to play in Friday’s game against the Nuggets.

Ighodaro has not played since he strained his oblique in the Suns’ season-opening loss to the Trail Blazers. While his return wouldn’t affect the starting lineup, since Khaman Maluach is available, it would likely push Duop Reath out of the rotation.
Oso Ighodaro

PHX Forward #11

Arizona Sports 98.7’s John Gambadoro reports that Oso Ighodaro (oblique) is feeling better but remains day-to-day ahead of Friday’s game against the Nuggets.

Ighodaro injured his oblique during the Suns’ season-opening loss to the Trail Blazers and has missed the last two games. While his absence hasn’t changed the starting lineup, as Khaman Maluach has been the preferred center, it has led to Duop Reath getting rotation minutes off the bench.

PHX Forward #11

Oso Ighodaro (oblique) is out for Monday’s game against the Thunder.

No surprise here as Ighodaro was initially listed as doubtful and has since been ruled out for Monday’s game against the Thunder. Khaman Maluach started and had nine points and nine rebounds with Ighodaro out against the Warriors on Saturday. Maluach is likely to start again Monday.

PHX Forward #11

Oso Ighodaro (oblique) is doubtful for Monday’s game against the Thunder.

Ighodaro did not play in Saturday’s win over the Warriors, leading to a significant increase in starter Khaman Maluach’s playing time. Expect that to continue if Ighodaro can’t play against the Thunder.
Khaman Maluach

PHX Center #10

Khaman Maluach amassed nine points (2-of-3 FGs, 4-of-6 FTs), nine rebounds, three assists, one steal, two blocks and one three-pointer in Saturday’s win over the Warriors.

With Oso Ighodaro (oblique) sidelined, Maluach did not have to worry about a timeshare at center. He logged 28 minutes against the Warriors, recording a complete stat line and finishing one point and one rebound shy of a double-double. If the Suns had a good schedule, Ighodaro’s injury would make Maluach a more popular fantasy player. However, they have another two-game week in Week 2, so adding Maluach in 12-team leagues offers little upside.

Oso Ighodaro (oblique) has been ruled out against the Warriors on Saturday.

Ighodaro exited early from Wednesday’s game against Portland and was initially listed as doubtful for this one. Duop Reath should fill out the backup center minutes behind Khaman Maluach.

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.
