Suns forward Oso Ighodaro was moved from day-to-day to out with an oblique issue in the injury report posted Saturday afternoon. He will miss the Suns' game against the Warriors tonight.
What happened
Ighodaro was listed as out with an oblique issue in the report posted Saturday, Oct. 24, at 4:32 p.m. ET. He had been day-to-day. The report's comment says Ighodaro (oblique) is listed as doubtful for Saturday's game against Golden State, which does not match the out designation. His status has shifted often. He was out and then day-to-day with the same oblique issue on Friday, and day-to-day with a right hip issue on Thursday. The report gives an expected return date of Oct. 26. No other timeline is announced.
What it means for the Suns
Phoenix plays Golden State tonight at 10 p.m. ET on NBA TV. The Suns are 0-1, 11th in the standings, and coming off a loss. Ighodaro played 14.6 minutes in the opener and gave them 8.0 points, 3.0 rebounds and 3.0 assists. Last season he played all 82 games and averaged 22.1 minutes, 6.5 points, 5.1 rebounds and 2.3 assists. Phoenix has no game without him yet. Devin Booker (29.4 minutes), Miles Bridges (28.6), Dillon Brooks (26.7) and Jalen Green (24.9) lead the rotation minutes. Khaman Maluach (16.9) and Ryan Dunn (14.2) are also in the mix. Mark Williams is out with a left shoulder issue, and Luke Kennard is day-to-day with a left knee issue.
What to watch
The next injury report will show whether Ighodaro's status changes after tonight's game. The report lists Oct. 26 as his expected return, but the team has not announced a firm timeline, and his status has changed twice in two days. The Suns' schedule beyond the Warriors game is not part of this update. Watch the minutes for Maluach and Dunn, and whether Williams or Kennard changes status.
