Jul 19, 2024, 2:59 PM

Phoenix Suns rookie Oso Ighodaro continued his solid summer league showing Friday with eight points and 11 rebounds in a 115-90 win over the Milwaukee Bucks in Las Vegas.

Ighodaro also provided five assists and two blocks, flying around the court to defend the rim and throw down dunks in an exciting display of his athleticism and feel.

The 40th overall pick was +19 on the floor despite 2-for-7 shooting, and he hit all four free-throw attempts.

Suns first-rounder Ryan Dunn also had a well-rounded game with eight points on 4-for-10 shooting, six rebounds, two assists and a steal. He missed all three of his shots from beyond the arc but was aggressive on the boards and driving to the cup.

Two-way player Jalen Bridges flashed his 3-point potential with 16 points, hitting 4-of-10 triples. Bridges also grabbed four rebounds and picked up two steals.

Bridges hit Dunn for a transition dunk.

Isaiah Wong led the Suns with 19 points on 7-for-9 shooting. He hit a step-back 28-footer at the buzzer to end the third quarter.

The Suns opened the game on a 19-2 run.

Phoenix’s last game on the summer slate is Saturday at noon MST against the Sacramento Kings.
