Oso Ighodaro News: Career high in boards Friday

Ighodaro totaled six points (3-7 FG), 13 rebounds and four assists over 44 minutes during Friday's 123-112 win over Cleveland.

The 2024 second-rounder saw a career-high workload due to Nick Richards (calf) and Mason Plumlee (quadriceps) both being unavailable, and Ighodaro turned the opportunity into his best performance yet on the glass. He's played at least 20 minutes in six straight games, averaging 7.0 points, 7.3 boards, 2.3 assists and 1.0 blocks during that span while shooting 70.4 percent from the floor. Ighodaro could retain a significant role in the frontcourt rotation even after Richards returns to the lineup.
