The Suns have guaranteed Oso Ighodaro‘s $2.3MM contract for the 2026/27 season, reports Bobby Marks of ESPN (via Twitter).
Ighodaro’s contract for next season was previously partially guaranteed for $250K and would have increased to $500K if he was still on the team on the first day of the regular season. He won’t have to worry about that now, according to Marks.
An Arizona native who played his high school ball in Phoenix, Ighodaro appeared in all 82 regular season contests for the Suns in ’25/26, his second season in the league, averaging 6.5 points, 5.1 rebounds, 2.3 assists and 0.9 steals in 22.0 minutes per game. The 6’11” center also appeared in both of the team’s play-in games and all four playoff contests.
Ighodaro, a four-year college player at Marquette, was selected 40th overall in the 2024 draft. His contract features a $2.5MM team option for the ’27/28 campaign.
Phoenix now has nine players on guaranteed contracts for next season.
6’9*
When did he get to 6’11? Last week?
No way he is 6’11
He measured 6’9.5 barefoot at the Combine two years ago, so he may have shot up an inch and a half since.
We’ll never get truthful NBA heights though!
He’s a cheap player they should use sparenly
He good. Bargain at 2.5M.
I like the move… Now all they have to do is teach him how to shoot so he can be more of a scoring threat other than dunks
