The 24-year-old is known for his hustle and has been impactful on both sides of the floor.
Ighodaro played in all 82 games last season, including 24 starts, averaging 6.5 points on 65.3% shooting, 5.1 rebounds and 2.3 assists.
He went to Desert Vista High School and the Suns drafted him in the second round in 2024.
Ighodaro will likely see more playing time with starting center Mark Williams out for at least a couple more months following shoulder surgery.
Second-year center Khaman Maluach will also see an expanded role.
