Phoenix Suns center Oso Ighodaro has agreed to a three-year, $29 million contract extension, his agent, Erika Ruiz of Primera Sports, said Sunday.
The deal will kick in for the 2028-29 season and run through 2030-31. Ighodaro is set to make $2.2 million this year, and the Suns will pick up his team option for next year, worth $2.4 million.
Draft-Night Acquisition
The Suns acquired Ighodaro from the Trail Blazers on draft night in 2024, after the Marquette product was selected with the No. 40 pick.
Ighodaro, 24, played 17 minutes per game in his rookie season for Phoenix before becoming a rotation staple last season. He averaged 6.5 points and 5.1 rebounds in 22 minutes and started 24 games.
Bigger Role Ahead
Starting center Mark Williams is set to miss multiple months because of shoulder surgery. The Suns will rely heavily on Ighodaro and second-year big man Khaman Maluach.
