Khaman Maluach Sees Increased Role Following Mark Williams Injury

With Mark Williams sidelined for 2-3 weeks due to a left foot injury, rookie Khaman Maluach is seeing increased minutes for the Phoenix Suns. Maluach recorded five blocks against the Pelicans and is adjusting to the speed of the NBA. While he has struggled with turnovers and limited offensive touches, his defensive length and energy are key development points. The coaching staff is working to integrate him more effectively into the Suns' perimeter-heavy offense.
