A second-round pick in the
2024 NBA Draft
, Ighodaro has helped the Suns as a reliable backup center. During the 2025-26 NBA season, he played in all 82 games and averaged 6.5 ppg, 5.1 rpg and 2.3 apg.
With the injury to Mark Williams, who will be
out indefinitely
due to a left shoulder injury, Ighodaro looks to make an impact with the Suns’ center rotation.
