Phoenix Suns forward Oso Ighodaro confirmed that he and the team are discussing a contract extension, expressing his desire to remain with the franchise.

“We’re talking about it. We’ll see what happens in the next couple days,” Ighodaro said when asked about the negotiations. Asked whether he wanted to stay in Phoenix, he replied, via HoopsHype, “For sure, yeah for sure.”

Ighodaro, 24, is in the third year of his four-year, $7.9 million rookie-scale contract. The deal includes a team option for the final year, which is set to be activated on opening night.

The forward is coming off his most productive NBA season. He appeared in all 82 regular-season games in 2025-26, averaging 6.5 points, 5.1 rebounds and 2.3 assists in 22.1 minutes per game while shooting 65.3% from the field.

Ighodaro also increased his production from his rookie campaign, when he averaged 4.2 points, 3.6 rebounds and 1.2 assists in 61 games. He shot 60.4% from the field in 2024-25.

The Marquette product contributed during Phoenix’s 2026 postseason, averaging 7.5 points, seven rebounds and four assists in four playoff games. He played 32 minutes per game and shot 54.2% from the field.

Phoenix selected Ighodaro in the second round of the 2024 NBA Draft after his senior season at Marquette, where he averaged 13.1 points, 6.9 rebounds and three assists in 33 games.

The Suns finished the 2025-26 regular season with a 45-37 record. During the 2026 offseason, they retained Collin Gillespie, Jordan Goodwin and Mark Williams, traded for Miles Bridges and signed Luke Kennard.
