Oso Ighodaro was downgraded from day-to-day to out with an oblique issue and will miss Monday's game at the Thunder. The Suns are also without Mark Williams, so the frontcourt minutes shift again.
What happened
The Suns forward was ruled out Monday at 2:47 PM ET, moving from day-to-day to out with an oblique issue, listed as oblique and torso. The injury report comment reads: "Ighodaro (oblique) is out for Monday's matchup with the Thunder." His status has changed often since Oct. 20, when he was cleared. He appeared as day-to-day with a hip issue on Oct. 22, then went out and back to day-to-day with the oblique on Oct. 23. He was out on Oct. 24 and day-to-day again on Oct. 25.
What it means for the Suns
Phoenix plays at the Thunder on Monday at 8:00 PM ET, sitting 1-1 as the 8th seed with one straight win. Ighodaro has played one game this season and averaged 14.6 minutes, 8.0 points, 3.0 rebounds and 3.0 assists. The Suns are 0-1 with him and 1-0 without him. In the game he missed, Devin Booker played 33.0 minutes and scored 33.0 points. Miles Bridges played 30.9 minutes and Dillon Brooks 30.3. Khaman Maluach played 22.3 minutes, Jordan Goodwin 20.9 and Luke Kennard 18.3. Mark Williams is also out with a left shoulder issue.
What to watch
The injury report lists an expected return of Oct. 30. No other date has been announced, and the next report update has not been announced. Given how often his status has flipped this week, the report before each game is the place to look. Monday's game at the Thunder is the one on the schedule. Watch whether Maluach keeps his minutes with Williams also out.
