EDGE Analysis
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.

EDGE Analysis
It's unclear if the hamstring injury is severe or not, but the Suns are being cautious with Okogie and won't risk him with the regular season just around the corner.

Okogie finished Sunday's 118-114 preseason win over the Lakers with 15 points (6-9 FG, 2-3 3Pt, 1-2 FT), five rebounds, two assists and three steals across 16 minutes.
EDGE Analysis
Okogie was the leading scorer for the Suns on Sunday, and he was responsible for three of the team's eight steals during the win. Okogie saw his production dip during the 2023-24 campaign, but he opted to sign a two-year, $16 million deal with Phoenix in July. He'll aim to carve out a larger, more consistent role off the bench in his third season with the Suns.
