Phoenix Suns News and Rumors Page 2 - NBA

Josh Okogie - Plays well in loss Okogie notched 11 points (3-5 FG, 2-2 3Pt, 3-4 FT), five rebounds, two assists, one block and two steals across 25 minutes during Monday's 109-99 loss to Orlando.

Impact The Suns have dropped four games in a row as they continue to be battered by injuries. Okogie has been a bright spot, however, producing averages of 14.3 points, 6.0 rebounds, 1.3 assists, 1.5 steals and 1.5 three-pointers in that span. He'll continue to be on the streaming radar until the Suns get some reinforcements.

Mason Plumlee - Grabs 11 rebounds in loss Plumlee ended Monday's 109-99 loss to the Magic with eight points (3-7 FG, 2-3 FT), 11 rebounds and six assists in 23 minutes.

Impact Plumlee filled in for Jusuf Nurkic (ankle), who had to take a day off after attempting to play though an injury. Although Plumlee didn't produce as a scorer, he held up in the paint with 11 boards and outdid Goga Bitadze in the category. If Nurkic needs more time to heal, Plumlee will be in line for another start against the Knicks Wednesday evening.

Oso Ighodaro - Respectable line in starting role Ighodaro had 12 points (6-8 FG, 0-1 FT), seven rebounds, two assists and two steals in 32 minutes during Monday's 109-99 loss to Orlando.

Impact Ighodaro has quickly turned into the best alternative at Kevin Durant's (calf) position after some strong performances from the bench. Royce O'Neale was expected to pick up most of the slack, but Phoenix's 2024 second-round pick has clearly outplayed him. Expect the Marquette product to log more starts over the next two weeks while Durant works his way back.

Grayson Allen - Logs 17 points in loss Allen ended with 17 points (5-10 FG, 4-9 3Pt, 3-7 FT), four rebounds and one assist in 29 minutes during Monday's 109-99 loss to the Magic.

Impact Allen is getting back up to speed after missing two games, and his presence is sorely needed with Bradley Beal (calf) unavailable. The box score showed that Allen's totals didn't have much effect on Josh Okogie's participation in the injury scenario, which bodes well in the fantasy outlook for both players.

Oso Ighodaro - Starting Monday Ighodaro will enter the starting lineup in Monday's game against the Magic.

Impact With Kevin Durant (calf) and Jusuf Nurkic (ankle) out, Mason Plumlee and Ighodaro will shoulder the workload in the frontcourt. The rookie has carved out a significant role over his last five outings, during which he has averaged 6.4 points and 5.0 rebounds while shooting 60.0 percent from the field across 19.8 minutes per game.

Jusuf Nurkic - Listed as out Monday Nurkic (ankle) is listed as out for Tuesday's game against Orlando.

Impact After three straight appearances for the Suns, Nurkic will be held out with a left ankle sprain, something that continues to pop up. With Nurkic on the shelf, this will be a big opportunity for Oso Ighodaro to step up for the Suns after a strong performance Sunday against the Timberwolves.

Monté Morris - Plays just 11 minutes Morris contributed five points (2-3 FG, 1-1 3Pt), one rebound, two assists and one steal across 11 minutes during Sunday's 120-117 loss to the Timberwolves.

Impact Morris continues to be a minimal part of the rotation for the Suns. In 10 total appearances, he's played 11.4 minutes per contest with averages of 4.7 points, 1.5 assists, 1.2 rebounds and 0.5 steals. He's not relevant in most fantasy formats for the time being.

Oso Ighodaro - Season-high 11 points in loss Ighodaro finished with 11 points (5-7 FG, 1-2 FT), three rebounds and one assist across 26 minutes during Sunday's 120-117 loss to Minnesota.

Impact The rookie big man posted his first career game with double-digit points while surpassing Jusuf Nurkic in playing time Sunday. Ighodaro has begun to carve out a much more significant role with the club, and he has tallied 10-plus minutes in each of his last five appearances. Through nine regular-season games, the Marquette product has averaged 4.0 points and 3.8 rebounds across 14.4 minutes per game.

Tyus Jones - Nabs double-double in defeat Jones totaled 13 points (6-12 FG, 1-2 3Pt), 11 assists, five rebounds and three steals in 37 minutes during Sunday's 120-117 loss to the Timberwolves.

Impact Jones tallied a game-high 11 assists, tying his previous season high from Oct. 31 against the Clippers. The point guard had a decent bounce-back outing against the Timberwolves after posting seven points and shooting 2-for-8 from the field in Friday's loss to the Thunder. Through 14 regular-season appearances, the 28-year-old has averaged 10.6 points, 6.6 assists, 2.9 rebounds and 1.0 steals across 32.5 minutes per game.

3 DAYS AGO • ROTOWIRE

Grayson Allen - Efficient 18 points in loss Allen posted 18 points (6-10 FG, 4-7 3Pt, 2-2 FT), five rebounds and one assist across 24 minutes during Sunday's 120-117 loss to the Timberwolves.

Impact After a two-game absence due to right hamstring soreness, the 29-year-old led the bench with 18 points and finished as the second-highest scorer on the Suns behind Devin Booker (44). Allen has been on a mainstay on the injury report this season while also taking a backseat to the club's new addition, Tyus Jones. Through 10 regular-season outings, Allen has averaged 9.9 points, 2.4 rebounds and 1.0 assists while shooting a lackluster 37.8 percent from the field across 21.1 minutes per game.

Devin Booker - Sets season-high 44 points in loss Booker logged 44 points (15-29 FG, 6-13 3Pt, 8-9 FT), seven assists, six rebounds and one block across 40 minutes during Sunday's 120-117 loss to the Timberwolves.

Impact After posting a season-low 12 points in Friday's loss to the Thunder, Booker produced a stellar bounce-back game with a new season-high mark in points. The star shooting guard also set a season high in threes made, and he has now hit three or more shots from beyond the arc in seven outings. Through 14 regular-season matchups, Booker has averaged 24.0 points, 6.6 assists, 3.9 rebounds and 1.1 steals across 36.6 minutes per game.
