What happened
Phoenix has moved Khaman Maluach to the bench after Oso Ighodaro took over at center, and the change has boosted the Suns’ second unit.
Maluach has responded with steady production in recent games, including eight points against Orlando, eight points and 10 rebounds versus Houston, and 11 points against the Clippers.
LINEUP CONTEXT
This rotation change matters because Phoenix appears to be using Maluach as a developmental backup unless injuries force another frontcourt shuffle.
