Okogie

Okogie will be available to make his first appearance of the season, giving the Suns added depth on the wings. However, with Royce O’Neale’s stellar play and the emergence of Ryan Dunn, Okogie is unlikely to get the minutes needed to achieve fantasy relevance.

Grayson Allen, Royce O’Neale and Ryan Dunn should continue to be the three perimeter players that see minutes off the bench for Phoenix. Bradley Beal is questionable, so there could be extra minutes to go around, but since Okogie has yet to play this season, his continued absence will not impact fantasy hoops.

Okogie remains sidelined for another game, but this will not impact fantasy basketball. Royce O’Neale and Damion Lee are two players who can give the Suns a lift off the bench, and they’re ahead of Okogie (when healthy) in the pecking order.

Okogie has not played in a game this season, and his continued absence does not impact fantasy basketball.

Okogie remains sidelined for another game after injuring his hamstring during the preseason. His absence will not impact fantasy basketball, as Okogie is on the back end of the Suns’ rotation when healthy.

Okogie missed some time during the preseason and now will be held out to start the regular season. However, his availability won’t have much of an impact on fantasy basketball this season.

Okogie has been sidelined since the Suns’ third preseason game, a home win over Detroit. He played nine minutes in that contest, and it’s unknown when he’ll be available to practice, much less appear in a game. Okogie’s availability will not impact fantasy basketball.

While Okogie has agreed to a two-year contract to remain with the Suns, the second season is not guaranteed. Appearing in 60 games, he finished the 2023-24 campaign with averages of 4.6 points, 2.6 rebounds, 1.1 assists, 0.8 steals, and 0.5 3-pointers in 16.0 minutes. Okogie missed nearly three weeks of action in March due to injury and was ultimately passed in the rotation by Royce O’Neale, who was acquired from the Nets at the February deadline. Look for Okogie to provide additional depth on the wing, but he’s unlikely to offer reputable fantasy value.

Gordon was a late addition to the injury report, and now he won’t suit up off the bench. Royce O’Neale should see a few extra minutes, and Josh Okogie could make a return to the rotation. However, Frank Vogel may just lean heavily on his starters, so there won’t be much of a fantasy impact here.

Nurkic will take on his usual starting center duties, with Okogie among the reserve options on the wing. Given the time he missed, fantasy managers should not expect too much from Okogie, who is not worth rostering in most fantasy leagues.
