  • Hornets' Josh Okogie: Traded to Charlotte

    The Hornets acquired Okogie and a 2026 second-round draft pick and two 2031 second-round draft picks from the Suns on Wednesday in exchange for center Nick Richards and a 2025 second-round draft pick, Shams Charania of ESPN reports.

    While the Suns get much-needed help at center, Okogie's outlook may not dramatically change for the better as heads to Charlotte. Okogie had averaged 6.0 points, 2.9 rebounds, 0.8 steals, 0.6 assists, 0.6 three-pointers and 0.4 blocks over 14.0 minutes per game across 25 appearances on the season, but he recently fell out of the Phoenix rotation. He could find himself behind Brandon Miller, Josh Green, Cody Martin and Nick Smith for minutes on the wing in Charlotte.

  • Suns' Josh Okogie: Near double-double vs. Warriors

    Okogie closed Saturday's 109-105 loss to the Warriors with 11 points (4-8 FG, 1-2 3Pt, 2-4 FT), nine rebounds, two blocks and two steals over 31 minutes.

    Okogie co-led the Suns in rebounding Saturday with Mason Plumlee, and the former was one board shy of registering his first double-double of the season. Royce O'Neale left Saturday's game after rolling his left ankle, and a prolonged absence would open the door for Okogie to see more playing time off the bench.

  • Suns' Josh Okogie: Plays well in loss

    Okogie notched 11 points (3-5 FG, 2-2 3Pt, 3-4 FT), five rebounds, two assists, one block and two steals across 25 minutes during Monday's 109-99 loss to Orlando.

    The Suns have dropped four games in a row as they continue to be battered by injuries, mainly to Kevin Durant (calf) and Bradley Beal (calf). Okogie has been a bright spot, however, producing averages of 14.3 points, 6.0 rebounds, 1.3 assists, 1.5 steals and 1.5 three-pointers in that span. He'll continue to be on the streaming radar until the Suns get some reinforcements.

  • Suns' Josh Okogie: Moving to bench

    Okogie won't start Sunday's game against the Timberwolves, Alan Horton of the Timberwolves Radio Network reports.

    Bradley Beal (calf) and Kevin Durant (calf) remain sidelined, but the Suns are rolling out a two-center lineup with Mason Plumlee and Jusuf Nurkic surrounded by Tyus Jones, Devin Booker and rookie Ryan Dunn. In four appearances off the bench this season, Okogie has averaged 10.5 points, 3.8 rebounds and 1.3 steals in 15.3 minutes per game.

  • Suns' Josh Okogie: Leads team with 15 points

    Okogie registered 15 points (4-12 FG, 1-4 3Pt, 6-9 FT), nine rebounds, one assist and one steal over 30 minutes during Friday's 99-83 loss to the Thunder.

    Okogie continues to produce while the rest of the first unit continues to struggle. Even with a move to the bench in the last game, Okogie fired a season-high 25 points over 29 minutes, prompting a move back into the starting five. His rebounding totals have been a great aid in the effort to make up for Kevin Durant's (calf) lost production.

  • Suns' Josh Okogie: Moves to starting role Friday

    Okogie is in the starting lineup for Friday's game against the Thunder.

    Okogie jumps to the starting lineup in place of Royce O'Neale after delivering his best outing of the campaign in the loss to the Kings on Wednesday. He finished with 25 points and eight rebounds off the bench in that contest.

  • Suns' Josh Okogie: Helps plug holes in loss

    Okogie notched 25 points (10-15 FG, 3-4 3Pt, 2-3 FT), eight rebounds, one assist and two steals across 28 minutes during Wednesday's 127-104 loss to the Kings.

    The Suns are flailing amid injuries to Bradley Beal (calf), Kevin Durant (calf) and Grayson Allen (hamstring), but Okogie did an excellent job in propping up the offense. He led the team in points by a wide margin and was the second-best rebounder as well. His stat line is an indication that his game is rounding into form after a hamstring injury held him out for the first eight games of the season.

  • Suns' Josh Okogie: Makes season debut

    Okogie (hamstring) scored six points (2-3 FG, 1-2 3Pt, 1-2 FT) in five minutes off the bench in Friday's 114-113 win over the Mavericks.

    Okogie missed the Suns' first five games of the season while recovering from a right hamstring strain before he was cleared to play ahead of last Saturday's 103-97 win over the Trail Blazers. He didn't play in that contest nor any of the two games that followed, but the absence of rookie Ryan Dunn (ankle) opened up a spot in the rotation for Okogie on Friday. Dunn is viewed as day-to-day, and if he returns to action Sunday versus the Kings, Okogie will likely drop back out of the rotation.

  • Suns' Josh Okogie: Cleared to make debut Saturday

    Okogie (hamstring) isn't listed on the injury report for Saturday's game against the Trail Blazers, Gerald Bourguet of GoPHNX.com reports.

    Okogie is cleared to make his season debut after missing the first five games of the season due to a right hamstring strain. Okogie will likely see a limited role at first, as Ryan Dunn and Royce O'Neale have thrived to start the campaign.

    Okogie (hamstring) is out for Saturday's game versus the Mavericks.

  • Suns' Josh Okogie: Out Friday

    Okogie (hamstring) is out for Friday's game against the Lakers.

    Okogie missed the season-opening win over the Clippers and will now miss a second consecutive contest. Hamstring injuries are tricky, so the Suns are being cautious with the seventh-year forward. Okogie's next chance to play will come against the Mavericks on Saturday in the second half of a back-to-back set.

  • Suns' Josh Okogie: Won't play Wednesday

    Okogie (hamstring) has been ruled out for Wednesday's season opener against the Clippers, Gerald Bourguet of GoPHNX.com reports.

    Okogie continues to battle a hamstring injury that popped up during preseason action. His next chance to suit up will come Friday versus the Lakers. In Okogie's absence, rookie Ryan Dunn could crack the season-opening rotation after an impressive showing during the preseason.

  • Suns' Josh Okogie: Still dealing with hamstring issue

    Okogie (hamstring) didn't get any 5-on-5 reps in during Monday's practice, Gerald Bourguet of GoPHNX.com reports.

    Okogie's official status for Wednesday's regular-season opener against the Clippers will be released Tuesday, but it doesn't sound like he's going to be ready for game action by then. When available, Okogie should handle a solid reserve role, but if he's sidelined, more minutes will be available for Ryan Dunn and Royce O'Neale.

  • Suns' Josh Okogie: Doesn't play Thursday

    Okogie (hamstring) didn't play in Thursday's 128-122 preseason loss against the Lakers.

    Okogie didn't suit up for the Suns' preseason finale, and his availability for the start of the regular season against the Clippers on Oct. 23 is in serious jeopardy. Okogie is expected to have a steady role off the bench if healthy, though that's a big if for him at the moment.
