Phoenix Suns Center Oso Ighodaro Game Time Decision

On October 14, 2026, the Phoenix Suns officially listed center Oso Ighodaro as a Game Time Decision under the injury type designation of Rest. Database event 517 from source cbs_injuries recorded this status change at 22:02:46 UTC, moving his record from a previously unlisted state to an active report. The current injury snapshot shares this exact timestamp and status, confirming no further state changes have occurred.

Database Event and Current Snapshot

The reported update logs a clear change in the database. Prior to this October 14 event, Oso Ighodaro had no logged injury status or injury type. The news event established his status as Game Time Decision, his injury type as Rest, and his status category as unknown, with no expected return date provided.

Because the observation timestamp for the current injury snapshot (2026-10-14 22:02:46.821905+00:00) is identical to the news event timestamp, the current state explicitly reflects the same entry rather than a later update. His status remains a Game Time Decision.
