The Phoenix Suns and Oso Ighodaro have reportedly agreed to a three-year contract extension worth $29 million. NBA.com attributed the information to ESPN's Shams Charania, with Phoenix also exercising its team option for the 2027–28 season.
Extension begins in 2028
The reported extension starts in 2028 and runs through 2031. The team option for 2027–28 therefore comes before the additional three-year term, rather than the new extension immediately replacing his arrangement for the coming season.
The agreement is presented as a report from ESPN. The amount and duration should be read in that context, rather than as a separate official contract announcement issued by the Suns in the article.
A second-round selection in the 2024 NBA Draft, Ighodaro has developed into a reliable reserve option at center for Phoenix. The reported deal would extend that relationship beyond his existing contract period.
Available throughout the last season
Ighodaro appeared in all 82 games during the 2025–26 regular season. He averaged 6.5 points, 5.1 rebounds and 2.3 assists, contributing across several areas while remaining available throughout the schedule.
Phoenix's immediate center rotation is also affected by Mark Williams' left shoulder injury. Williams is out indefinitely, and NBA.com identifies Ighodaro as a player with an opportunity to make an impact in that situation.
His near-term playing role and the start of the reported extension remain separate matters: the Suns have frontcourt minutes to organize now, while the additional contract years begin in 2028.
