Even the most famous teams in the competition have a rotation pool on which little light falls. This is the case of Eugene Omoruyi and the Washington Wizards, who will terminate the Nigerian striker’s contract to reduce their squad to 16 players. Omoruyi arrived in the United States capital after being released by the Detroit Pistons in July 2023. Initially with a two-way contract, which the Wizards converted to standard last March.
Omoruyi played 43 games for Washington, which is not insignificant. Even if his minutes played barely exceeded 9 minutes on average and his numbers were 4.8 points and 2 rebounds in still statistically good minutes. Mainly. The player’s contract, which he signed for two years, was not guaranteed for the 24-25 season. The Wizards will therefore not have to pay a single dollar of the 2.2 million they signed for the upcoming season.
