The Phoenix Suns are reportedly extending center Oso Ighodaro.

The Phoenix Suns and Oso Ighodaro have reportedly agreed to a 3-year, $29 million contract extension, per ESPN’s Shams Charania.

The Suns are picking up Ighodaro’s team option for the 2027-28 season. The extension will start in 2028 and will run through 2031. 

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.
