Suns’ Ighodaro Out Against Thunder, Day-to-Day

Phoenix Suns center Oso Ighodaro is recovering from a right oblique strain suffered in the season opener and missed multiple games, including the matchup with Oklahoma City. After being listed day-to-day, he participated in most of a practice and could return for Phoenix’s home game against Denver, though the team said it would assess his response before deciding. His absence has left Khaman Maluach and Duop Reath to cover the center position, while the Suns have struggled with rebounding and could benefit from Ighodaro’s playmaking and defensive versatility.
