Maluach accumulated four points (2-4 FG), nine rebounds and two blocks in 20 minutes during Sunday's 111-99 victory over the Hornets.

EDGE Analysis

Mark Williams (foot) will be out for a few more weeks, and although Oso Ighodaro has the inside track for Williams' minutes, the team will give their 2025 lottery pick every opportunity to make an impact. The Duke product has struggled to stay healthy, but Maluach made great strides in the G League and should serve as the team's second option under the basket until Williams returns.

Maluach logged four points (2-3 FG), four rebounds, one assist and five blocks across 20 minutes during Friday's 118-116 win over New Orleans.

EDGE Analysis

With Mark Williams (foot) sidelined, Maluach finally has a chance for consistent minutes at the NBA level. The rookie's 20 minutes Friday marked a career high, and it was only the sixth time the Duke product has exceeded double-digit minutes. If Maluach can continue to protect the paint like he did Friday, he should see steady playing time until Williams can return to action.

Maluach (thumb) will be available for Tuesday's game against the Kings.

EDGE Analysis

Maluach had been listed as questionable for Tuesday's contest due to a right thumb sprain but will be able to play through the injury. He'll provide depth at center behind Mark Williams and Oso Ighodaro but likely won't see any playing time while Tuesday's game remains competitive.

Maluach (thumb) is questionable for Tuesday's game against the Kings.

EDGE Analysis

Maluach, who was recalled from the G League on Sunday, is dealing with a right thumb sprain that clouds his availability for Tuesday's contest. The Duke product is averaging just 5.3 minutes per game across 26 NBA appearances this season, so even if active, there's no guarantee he'll see the floor.

Phoenix recalled Maluach from the G League's Valley Suns on Sunday.

EDGE Analysis

Maluach hasn't seen many opportunities at the NBA level with 26 appearances and 5.3 minutes per contest, so he's likely to be an emergency depth option Tuesday against the Kings.

Phoenix assigned Maluach to the G League's Valley Suns on Friday.

EDGE Analysis

The rookie first-rounder hasn't seen the floor at all in four of Phoenix's last eight games. That said, Maluach will look for steadier reps in the G League in the interim. The 19-year-old big man is averaging 15.8 points, 12.3 rebounds and 2.0 blocks per game through four G League regular-season outings.

Maluach ended Tuesday's 97-81 loss to the Celtics with five points (2-3 FG, 1-1 3Pt, 0-1 FT), two rebounds and one block over six minutes.

EDGE Analysis

Maluach remained in the rotation, suiting up for the fourth time in the past five games. Phoenix is in a world of hurt at the moment, with its record quietly heading in the wrong direction. While it has been encouraging to see Maluach on the floor, the majority of his minutes have come during garbage time. At this point, there is no reason to consider picking him up, outside of dynasty formats.

Phoenix recalled Maluach from the G League's Valley Suns on Friday.

EDGE Analysis

Maluach took part in practice with the G League club Friday but rejoined the parent club immediately after. He'll be available off the bench for Saturday's game against the 76ers but is unlikely to be part of the rotation so long as Mark Williams and Oso Ighodaro are available to cover the center spot.

EDGE Analysis

The rookie first-rounder recorded 10 points (4-14 FG, 0-4 3Pt, 1-4 FT), 14 rebounds and two blocks across 33 minutes against Delaware. Maluach has appeared in four of the parent club's last five games, averaging 0.5 points, 0.5 rebounds and 0.3 blocks across 2.8 minutes during that span.

EDGE Analysis

Maluach played 37 minutes during the Valley Suns' 102-91 loss to the Austin Spurs on Sunday, finishing with 13 points (5-10 FG, 3-6 3Pt), four rebounds, one assist and one steal. The rookie first-rounder will be with the parent club for its contest Sunday, and he could make his first appearance in an NBA-level game since Jan. 11 against the Wizards.
