  • Wizards' Eugene Omoruyi: Will remain sidelined Saturday

    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.

  • Wizards' Eugene Omoruyi: Agrees to standard deal

    Omoruyi agreed to a standard two-year NBA contract with the Wizards on Friday, Adrian Wojnarowski of ESPN reports.

    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.

  • Wizards' Eugene Omoruyi: Season best game in double-double

    Omoruyi finished with 16 points (6-12 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 3-4 FT), 10 rebounds, three assists and three steals in 23 minutes during Sunday's 140-112 loss to Phoenix.

    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.

  • Wizards' Eugene Omoruyi: Iffy for Friday

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

    Omoruyi was unavailable Wednesday against New Orleans due to his concussion, and it's unclear whether he'll be able to return Friday. His status shouldn't significantly impact Washington's rotation.

  • Wizards' Eugene Omoruyi: Won't play Wednesday

    Omoruyi is out for Wednesday's game versus the Pelicans due to a concussion.

    Omoruyi is averaging 6.2 minutes across his 13 NBA appearances this season, so his absence shouldn't affect Washington's rotation much. Omoruyi's next chance to suit up is Friday's matchup with Indiana.

  • Wizards' Eugene Omoruyi: Makes impact in limited action

    Omoruyi chipped in 14 points (5-5 FG, 1-1 3Pt, 3-4 FT), six rebounds, one assist, one block and one steal in 12 minutes during Monday's 126-107 loss to the Celtics.

    The Wizards were blown out, but Omoruyi was a bright spot and cleaned up in garbage time. While he's currently on the outskirts of the rotation, Omoruyi certainly gave the coaching staff something to think about going forward.

  • Wizards' Eugene Omoruyi: Big off bench again

    Omoruyi scored 16 points (5-8 FG, 1-2 3Pt, 5-8 FT) while adding three rebounds, an assist and a steal in only 12 minutes off the bench in Friday's 134-98 preseason loss to the Raptors.

    The lack of court time in the Wizards' final exhibition contest, and the fact that it came in the fourth quarter, indicates the 26-year-old forward is likely on the outside looking in for a spot on the Opening Night roster, but it's hard to argue with his production and efficiency. Omoruyi, who signed a two-way contract with the Wizards in July, could stick around and provide some frontcourt depth if Kyle Kuzma (calf) remains sidelined to begin the regular season, however.

  • Wizards' Eugene Omoruyi: Leads bench in scoring

    Omoruyi tallied 16 points (6-8 FG, 1-2 3Pt, 3-4 FT), three steals and two rebounds over 12 minutes in Tuesday's 145-82 exhibition win over Cairns.

    Omoruyi led all bench players in scoring and finished as one of eight Wizards with a double-digit point total during a blowout victory. Omoruyi has played for four different teams across his first three NBA campaigns, and he's looking to carve out a consistent bench role during his first season in Washington.

  • Wizards' Eugene Omoruyi: Inks deal with Washington

    Omoruyi (ankle) agreed to a two-way contract with the Wizards on Tuesday, Josh Robbins of The Athletic reports.

    Omoruyi averaged 7.0 points and 2.8 rebounds in 16.1 minutes across 40 games for the Pistons and Thunder last season. The third-year forward will likely split time between the Wizards and the Capital City Go-Go of the G League in 2023-24.

  • Eugene Omoruyi: Waived by Pistons

    The Pistons waived Omoruyi (ankle) on Saturday.

    Detroit picked up Omoruyi's $1.9 million option Wednesday, but his salary for next season remained non-guaranteed, so the move won't cost the team any money. Omoruyi will become an unrestricted free agent if he clears waivers. Omoruyi appeared in 17 games after signing a pair of 10-day deals in early March but also played for the Thunder, and he averaged 7.0 points and 2.8 rebounds in 16.1 minutes across 40 games for both franchises in 2022-23.

  • Pistons' Eugene Omoruyi: Staying in Detroit

    The Pistons picked up Omoruyi's (ankle) $1.9 million team option for 2023-24 on Wednesday, James L. Edwards III of The Athletic reports.

    Omoruyi averaged 7.0 points and 2.8 rebounds in 16.1 minutes across 40 games for the Pistons and Thunder in 2022-23. The second-year forward fits the timeline of Detroit's youth movement and could see an extended role in 2023-24.
