What happened
Oso Ighodaro was upgraded to questionable for Friday’s game against Denver after practicing with the team, and Jordan Ott said his return depends on how his body responds.
With Mark Williams and Ighodaro out, Phoenix has leaned on Khaman Maluach at center, and several commenters say that shortage could force more small-ball looks.
LINEUP CONTEXT
If Ighodaro sits again, Phoenix’s center rotation stays thin and the Suns may need to keep experimenting with small-ball or deeper bench minutes.
