Calls Grow for Increased Role for Suns Rookie Khaman Maluach

As the Phoenix Suns navigate the final stretch of the season, there is increasing internal and external pressure to grant 19-year-old center Khaman Maluach more consistent playing time. Over his last 10 games, Maluach has averaged 4.6 points and 4.2 rebounds in 12.7 minutes, boasting a +5.3 net rating. Despite his limited role, his defensive presence and length have proven effective, leading to calls for the team to prioritize his development during meaningful late-season games.
