Oso Ighodaro Eyes Expanded Role and Starting Job in Third NBA Season

Phoenix Suns center Oso Ighodaro is competing for an expanded role and the starting job as training camp approaches, boosted by Mark Williams' left shoulder injury and a training camp deal for Duop Reath. Last season, Ighodaro was the team's iron man, playing in all 82 games and averaging 5.1 points, 2.3 rebounds, and 0.7 assists while forming a strong pick-and-roll tandem with Collin Gillespie. He is working to improve his shooting and free-throw accuracy to secure a long-term extension.
