What happened
Oso Ighodaro has agreed to a three-year extension with Phoenix, according to ESPN's Shams Charania. The Suns are also picking up his 2027-28 team option, so the new deal begins in 2028 and runs through 2031.
Ighodaro, a 2024 second-round pick, played all 82 games last season and made 24 starts for the Suns. He also started every game of Phoenix's first-round series against Oklahoma City and averaged 7.5 points, 7.0 rebounds and 4.0 assists in that matchup.
Phoenix secures a center who has already handled a starter-sized role in the regular season and playoffs. The move stabilizes long-term rotation planning, but it does not confirm how the Suns will deploy him in Wednesday's opener in Portland.
