  • Timberwolves' Eugene Omoruyi: Let go by Minnesota

    The Timberwolves waived Omoruyi on Friday.

  • Timberwolves' Eugene Omoruyi: Joins Minnesota

    Omoruyi agreed to a deal with Minnesota on Monday, Michael Scotto of USA Today reports.

    Terms of the deal haven't been reported yet, though it's likely an Exhibit 10 deal in which Omoruyi will compete for a roster spot in training camp. Omoruyi made 43 regular-season appearances for the Wizards in 2023-24, averaging 4.8 points and 2.0 rebounds in 9.1 minutes.

  • Eugene Omoruyi: Will be waived by Washington

    Omoruyi will be waived by Washington on Wednesday, Josh Robbins of The Athletic reports.

    Omoruyi's salary of $2.2 million for the 2024-25 season is non-guaranteed, so this move isn't a big surprise. When the transaction is official, Washington's roster will be down to 16 players, not including those on two-way contracts. In 43 regular-season appearances for the Wizards, Omoruyi produced averages of 4.8 points and 2.0 rebounds in 9.1 minutes.

  • Wizards' Eugene Omoruyi: Career-high 26 points vs. Boston

    Omoruyi registered 26 points (11-17 FG, 4-6 3Pt), two rebounds and five assists across 23 minutes during Sunday's 132-122 loss to the Celtics.

    Omoruyi had a career night in the Wizards' regular-season finale, coming off the bench to lead the team in scoring. Omoruyi played 10-plus minutes in each of the last seven games of the season and averaged 8.0 points, 2.0 rebounds and 1.1 assists over 15.6 minutes per game over that span.

  • Wizards' Eugene Omoruyi: Available vs. Chicago

    Omoruyi (illness) is available for Friday's game against Chicago, Bijan Todd of Monumental Sports Network reports.

    Omoruyi was questionable for Friday's matchup due to a non-COVID illness, but he'll be able to suit up despite the issue. Over his last five appearances, he's averaged 4.6 points and 2.4 rebounds in 14.8 minutes per game.

  • Wizards' Eugene Omoruyi: Plays 14 minutes in return

    Omoruyi (ankle) totaled three points (1-5 FG, 0-3 3Pt, 1-1 FT), one rebound and one assist in 14 minutes Tuesday in the Wizards' 117-113 win over the Bucks.

    Omoruyi wasn't particularly effective in his return from a seven-game absence due to a left ankle sprain, but the injury-plagued Wizards were likely just happy to reclaim some health in the frontcourt. With Washington listing Marvin Bagley (knee) and Richaun Holmes (toe) out for Wednesday's game against the Lakers, Omoruyi could be in store for a larger role in the second leg of the back-to-back set.

    Omoruyi (ankle) has been ruled out for Saturday's game against Toronto.

  • Wizards' Eugene Omoruyi: Will remain out Thursday

    Omoruyi (ankle) has been ruled out for Thursday's game against the Kings.

    Omoruyi will miss a second straight game after spraining his right ankle during Sunday's blowout loss to the Celtics. Marvin Bagley (back) remains out Thursday and Richaun Holmes (illness) is questionable, so Kyle Kuzma and Anthony Gill could see extra minutes at the five again.

  • Wizards' Eugene Omoruyi: Ruled out for Tuesday

    Omoruyi has been ruled out for Tuesday's game against the Rockets with a right ankle sprain.

    Omoruyi will miss at least one game after spraining his right ankle during Sunday's 130-104 loss to the Celtics. Marvin Bagley (back) remains out Tuesday, so Richaun Holmes may start at center again, but the Wizards could also go small with Kyle Kuzma and Anthony Gill at the five for stretches.

  • Wizards' Eugene Omoruyi: Exits early Sunday

    Omoruyi won't return to Sunday's game against the Celtics due to a left ankle sprain.

    Omoruyi tweaked his ankle late in the second half and was ruled out for the remainder of the contest shortly thereafter. The 27-year-old pro will finish the day with zero points (0-1 FG, 0-1 3Pt), two rebounds and two assists in 15 minutes.

  • Wizards' Eugene Omoruyi: Steps into larger role

    Omoruyi registered seven points (2-3 FG, 3-6 FT), two rebounds, one assist, one block and one steal over 17 minutes during Saturday's 127-98 loss to Chicago.

    Omoruyi's playing time represented the small half of a true-center platoon with Richaun Holmes on Saturday, although the duo was collectively torched by Nikola Vucevic (29 points, 13 rebounds). At just 6-foot-7, Omoruyi profiles as nothing more than a physical presence and energy defender.

    Omoruyi was previously operating under a two-way deal and made 27 appearances for the Wizards this season, averaging 4.6 points and 2.1 rebounds in 7.6 minutes per game. His role isn't likely to increase after the new deal unless Washington starts shutting down its regulars, but it's still a solid promotion for the 27-year-old.

    Omoruyi led all bench players in Sunday's contest in scoring and rebounds while adding a trio of assists and a team-high steals total in a well-rounded showcase. Omoruyi set season-high marks in scoring, rebounds and steals while posting his fourth double-digit point total of the year.

    Omoruyi (concussion) is questionable for Friday's game against the Pacers.
