Suns' Josh Okogie: Makes season debut
Okogie (hamstring) scored six points (2-3 FG, 1-2 3Pt, 1-2 FT) in five minutes off the bench in Friday's 114-113 win over the Mavericks.
Okogie missed the Suns' first five games of the season while recovering from a right hamstring strain before he was cleared to play ahead of last Saturday's 103-97 win over the Trail Blazers. He didn't play in that contest nor any of the two games that followed, but the absence of rookie Ryan Dunn (ankle) opened up a spot in the rotation for Okogie on Friday. Dunn is viewed as day-to-day, and if he returns to action Sunday versus the Kings, Okogie will likely drop back out of the rotation.

Josh Okogie: Declining option, may re-sign
Okogie declined his $2.96 million player option for the 2024-25 season and enter unrestricted free agency, Michael Scotto of USA Today reports.
Evan Sidery of Forbes.com previously reported that Okogie planned to exercise his option and remain with the Suns, but Gerald Bourguet of GoPHNX.com relays the Suns want to re-sign Okogie to a slightly larger deal. Declining the player option is the first step in setting in motion a return to Phoenix on a larger deal, though Okogie will surely listen to what other offers might exist for him in free agency before putting pen to paper on a new deal with the Suns. Okogie had a reduced role for Phoenix during the 2023-24 campaign, averaging 4.6 points, 2.6 rebounds and 1.1 assists in 16.0 minutes across 60 regular-season appearances. The 25-year-old finished the season without a spot in former head coach Frank Vogel's rotation, but Okogie could re-establish himself under new coach Mike Budenholzer if he does in fact stick around in Phoenix.
