Ighodaro played in the first four games for the Suns, averaging 12.3 points on 57.1% shooting and 8.5 rebounds.

Dunn, Maluach and Brea have each seen action in three games. Dunn has led the team in scoring at 14.7 points a game. Shooting 48.5% from the field, Dunn has made 37.5% of his 3s.

Dunn appeared to hurt his left foot or ankle in the third quarter of Wednesday’s loss to Minnesota, but played through it in the fourth.

Maluach, the 10th overall pick in the 2025 draft, is averaging 10 points on 35.7% shooting in Vegas. The 7-footer averaged 5.7 rebounds and 1.3 shots a game.
