What happened: Khaman Maluach's team marked his 20th birthday. The center enters the 2026-27 offseason cycle heading toward his second NBA season.

Why it matters: The milestone lands as Phoenix looks at an expanded frontcourt role for Maluach, with the same center Bobby Marks flagged for bigger minutes after Mark Williams underwent left shoulder surgery. That timeline puts more weight on Maluach entering training camp.

What to watch: Watch Phoenix's training camp rotations for how much frontcourt time Maluach absorbs with Williams sidelined.
