Continues to produce
Ighodaro ended with 13 points (5-7 FG, 3-5 FT), six rebounds, one assist, one block and one steal in 27 minutes before fouling out of Friday's 118-116 victory over New Orleans.
Analysis
With Mark Williams (foot) sidelined, Ighodaro has a clear path to consistent production. Over the past four games (two straight starts), Ighodaro has averaged 11.3 points, 8.3 rebounds, 2.8 assists, 1.3 blocks and 1.0 steals in 30.8 minutes per game. He's shooting a phenomenal 77.8 percent from the field but only 37.5 percent from the free-throw line (3-for-8) during this stretch of extended playing time.

Starting sans Williams
Ighodaro is in the Suns' starting lineup against the Bulls on Thursday.
Analysis
The 2024 second-rounder will make his eighth start of the season Thursday (and first since Dec. 29 against the Wizards) due to the absence of Mark Williams, the latter of whom is expected to miss at least 2-to-3 weeks due to a left foot injury. Ighodoro is coming off a strong performance against the Kings on Tuesday, when he logged 14 points, 14 rebounds, three assists and one block over 26 minutes.

Notches third double-double
Ighodaro produced 14 points (7-10 FG, 0-2 FT), 14 rebounds, three assists and one block in 26 minutes during Tuesday's 114-103 win over the Kings.
Analysis
Ighodaro has now secured three double-doubles since Feb. 10 and has shown that he can produce across the board. He set a new season high in rebounds Tuesday and posted his best scoring night since Jan. 2, when he put up 15 points against Sacramento. Ighodaro is averaging 8.5 points, 6.2 rebounds, 3.3 assists and 1.3 steals over his last six games.
