According to HoopsHype’s Michael Scotto, the Timberwolves have signed Eugene Omoruyi and Skylar Mays.
The Timberwolves are rounding out their training camp roster, with Omoruyi and Mays being the latest additions. Fantasy managers should not expect either to be impactful, as Omoruyi and Mays will not be on guaranteed contracts. The latter has one season of two-way contract eligibility remaining, while the former does not.
The Wizards have requested waivers on Eugene Omoruyi, per a team announcement.
Omoruyi’s contract wasn’t guaranteed for this season, so it isn’t surprising to see Washington make this move. Omoruyi played less than 10 minutes per game last season, so this won’t impact their rotation much.
Eugene Omoruyi finished Sunday’s loss to Boston with 26 points, two rebounds, five assists and four three-pointers.
Omoruyi averaged just 8.8 minutes per game across 42 appearances before Sunday’s eruption, and he topped out at 16 points on February 4. The third-year man out of Oregon nearly matched his season high in the first half with 15 points, and he cruised past it through the final two quarters of the game. Omoruyi’s 23 minutes were second-fewest on the team, though he finished second in shot attempts and came away with an efficient 11-of-17 mark from the field. The 26 points are a new career-high for Omoruyi, who finished behind only former Ducks teammate Payton Pritchard (38) for game-high in the scoring department.
Eugene Omoruyi (illness) is available for Friday’s game against the Bulls.
Omoruyi was upgraded from questionable to available, and he’s likely to play rotation minutes off the bench. However, Tristan Vukcevic and Anthony Gill are better options for fantasy managers whose leagues are active.
