Records first double-double
Maluach contributed 18 points (8-15 FG, 2-5 3Pt), 14 rebounds, two blocks and one steal over 29 minutes during Sunday's 135-103 win over the Thunder.
Analisi
With Mark Williams (foot) inactive, Maluach saw extended playing time and made an impact in the interior, recording his first career double-double at the NBA level. It's been a quiet, developmental rookie campaign for the No. 10 pick in the 2025 NBA Draft, as he'll close the regular season averaging 3.0 points and 2.9 rebounds in 8.9 minutes across 46 appearances with the Suns.

Coming off bench Friday
Maluach is not in the Suns' starting lineup against the Lakers on Friday.
Analisi
The rookie first-rounder made his first NBA start against the Mavericks on Wednesday, when he played 30 minutes and finished with four points, 14 rebounds and three blocks in a 112-107 win. Maluach will revert to a bench role Friday due to the return of Mark Williams, and the former will be competing with Oso Ighodaro for playing time.

Big defensive effort in first start
Maluach provided four points (2-5 FG, 0-1 3Pt), 14 rebounds and three blocks across 30 minutes during Wednesday's 112-107 win over Dallas.
Analisi
Making his first NBA start, the rookie center didn't make much of an impression on offense, but the 19-year-old set a new career high in boards while swatting multiple shots for the fifth time in his last seven games. Maluach's minutes of late have largely depended on the availability of Mark Williams (foot), and with the Suns having locked up the seventh seed in the Western Conference and the top spot in the Play-In Tournament, the team may elect to shut Williams down for the final two games of the regular season and give Maluach a longer look.

Making first career start
Maluach will start Wednesday's game against the Mavericks.
Analisi
With Mark Williams (foot) sidelined, Maluach will get the starting nod for the first time in his NBA career. The rookie first-rounder has averaged 4.0 points, 3.7 rebounds and 1.1 blocks in 11.0 minutes per game across his last 10 appearances, though he'll likely see increased minutes Wednesday.
