After four games, Khaman Maluach’s work as the Phoenix Suns’ starting center at the 2026 NBA Summer League is done.

Is Khaman Maluach Destined To Start After 2026 Summer Showing?

Maluach’s body of work isn’t too shabby, either — Maluach finishes his time in Vegas by averaging 19.5 points and a league-leading 12.8 rebounds while shooting 53.2% from the field and 40.0% from 3-point range.

It’s not just the PHNX Suns crew that has taken notice, as the collective NBA world is beginning to turn its head and notice what the 19-year-old is doing ahead of his second NBA season.

As good as Maluach has been, is he ready to be thrust into an even bigger role with the Suns this season?

Join Erik, Gil and Stephen LIVE from Gila River Resorts and Casinos Wild Horse Pass as they discuss what Maluach has done this summer and if it means he is ready to start at center when opening night of the 2026-27 season rolls around.
