Okogie (abdomen) will be inactive for Monday's game against Cleveland.
EDGE Analysis
Okogie will miss his fifth consecutive game due to an abdominal strain. Eric Gordon (knee) is also inactive, so Royce O'Neale should retain a sizable workload even with Devin Booker (ankle) considered probable to return to action Monday.

Okogie (abdomen) has been ruled out for Thursday's game against the Raptors, Duane Rankin of The Arizona Republic reports.
EDGE Analysis
A lower abdominal strain will keep Okogie sidelined for a third game in a row. Okogie had averaged just 12.6 minutes per game over his last five appearances, but had he been available Thursday, he might have been in store for more playing time with Devin Booker (ankle) sidelined.

Okogie will not play in Sunday's game against the Thunder due to a right hip injury.
EDGE Analysis
Okogie was added to the injury report just ahead of game time with a hip injury that will cause him to sit out. This will be Okogie's first game missed since Dec. 29. With Devin Booker (ankle) out alongside Okogie and Bradley Beal and Eric Gordon on minutes restrictions, the starting five could be asked to play significant minutes Sunday, with supplementation from the likes of Bol Bol and Drew Eubanks.

Okogie finished with three points (1-4 FG, 1-2 3Pt), two rebounds and one steal across 11 minutes in the Suns' 110-105 win over Houston on Thursday.
EDGE Analysis
Okogie has not started a single game since coming back from a hip injury Dec. 25, and the recently acquired Royce O'Neale has taken a majority of Okogie's playing time, averaging 26.6 minutes per game. Since being moved to the bench, the 25-year-old's numbers have dropped nearly in half from 6.5 points, 3.4 rebounds and 1.0 steals in 21.4 minutes per game to 3.7 points, 2.2 rebounds and 0.8 steals in 13.9 minutes. Expect Okogie's minutes to decrease as he is buried behind Kevin Durant, O'Neale and Bol Bol on the depth chart.

Okogie provided 11 points (4-5 FG, 2-2 3Pt, 1-3 FT), seven rebounds, one block and one steal over 18 minutes during Monday's 118-105 win over the Heat.
EDGE Analysis
With Grayson Allen (ankle) exiting early, Okogie took on a larger role. One of his threes banked in off the top of the backboard, which is a symbolic example that Okogie can't be relied upon for consistent offense, but the 25-year-old is an impressive athlete with rebounding prowess. He could retain an enlarged role if Allen is forced to miss time.

Okogie chipped in six points (2-5 FG, 0-2 3Pt, 2-2 FT), one rebound, two assists and two steals across 14 minutes during Sunday's 121-115 loss to the Grizzlies.
EDGE Analysis
Okogie played double-digit minutes off the bench for a fourth consecutive matchup and managed to contribute in multiple areas during the loss. Across his last four appearances, he's averaged 5.3 points and 2.5 assists in 18.0 minutes per game. While Okogie's recent uptick in playing time has been encouraging, he could see his minutes decrease once Eric Gordon (knee), Nassir Little (knee) and Bol Bol (ankle) are healthy.

Okogie (ankle) is good to go for Sunday's game against the Magic, Duane Rankin of The Arizona Republic reports.
EDGE Analysis
This was the expectation, as Okogie was carrying a probable tag prior to this update. With the Suns finally healthy, Okogie has seen his minutes trend down. Over his last three outings, he's averaging 11.0 minutes per contest.
