Oso Ighodaro reportedly agrees to 3-year contract extension with Suns

Phoenix Suns center Oso Ighodaro has agreed to a three-year, $29 million contract extension, according to ESPN’s Shams Charania.

The extension will run through the 2030-31 season and kicks in after Ighodaro’s rookie deal ends after next season, as Phoenix also picked up his team option for the 2027-28 season.

Ighodaro, 24, was drafted by the Suns in the second round in 2024 and has played 143 games across his first two seasons (including all 82 in 2025-26).

A Valley product, Ighodaro went to high school at Desert Vista in Phoenix before playing four years in college at Marquette.

Last season with the Suns, he played 22 minutes per game averaging 6.5 points, 5.1 rebounds and 2.3 assists on 65.3% shooting.

Coming into this season, Ighodaro is expected to be Phoenix’s starting center after Mark Williams suffered a shoulder injury that will keep him out for an extended time. Second-year center Khaman Maluach is also expected to see an uptick in minutes, and he could eventually start games at the position, as well.

This is a developing story.
