Deandre Ayton is back after suspension. On Monday, Phoenix Suns fans can celebrate by taking home the center’s likeness in bobblehead form.

The Suns announced Thursday that Ayton will be the first in the Valley Boyz bobblehead series. These bobbleheads, with players in street clothes instead of a basketball jersey traditionally seen on the figurines, mimic the athletes’ style.

The first 5,000 fans in attendance for the game against the Denver Nuggets on Monday will receive a bobblehead. The game begins at 7 p.m. and Talking Stick Resort Arena doors are scheduled to open at 5:30 p.m.

Phoenix’s second-year center returned to the court on Tuesday after a 25-game suspension. He scored 18 points and grabbed 12 rebounds in the loss to the Los Angeles Clippers.

The Suns went 10-15 in the 25 games without Ayton and are 1-1 with him on the court entering Thursday.

Ayton will be the first Valley Boyz bobblehead. Forward Kelly Oubre Jr. is scheduled to see his likeness on Feb. 7 against the Houston Rockets and guard Devin Booker on Feb. 28 against the Detroit Pistons.
