Oso Ighodaro has stepped up impressively for the Suns as Mason Plumlee faced consecutive ejections, showcasing his strong potential in the NBA. In a recent matchup against the Sacramento Kings, Ighodaro scored 11 points, pulled down six rebounds, and recorded a career-high four blocks in just 32 minutes of play. This performance helped the Suns to snap a two-game losing streak, enhancing their chances in the play-in tournament.

With Plumlee's ejections, Ighodaro embraced the 'next-man-up' mentality, showing readiness and energy when called upon. His ability to capitalize on increased playing time demonstrates his importance to the team's depth as they strive for playoff positioning. Fellow rookie Ryan Dunn also contributed significantly, scoring 16 points and adding youthful energy which has been crucial during this stretch.
