The Grizzlies waived Oni on Saturday, Fred Katz of The Athletic reports.

EDGE Analysis

Oni was unable to obtain a regular-season roster spot with the Grizzlies. He will likely spend the 2024-25 campaign with the Memphis Hustle of the G League.

Oni signed an Exhibit 10 contract with the Grizzlies on Friday.

EDGE Analysis

Oni spent the first three years of his career with the Jazz, and he averaged 1.9 points and 1.2 rebounds in 7.8 minutes per game over 80 regular-season appearances with the club. He spent last season with the G League's Osceola Magic and averaged 8.5 points, 5.2 rebounds and 4.5 assists in 30.4 minutes per game, and he'll have a chance to compete for a roster spot with the Grizzlies during training camp this year.

Oni was waived by the Magic on Wednesday.

EDGE Analysis

Oni joined Orlando on an Exhibit 10 contract in late August and will part ways with the club with a week remaining until the regular season. It's possible he begins the 2023-24 campaign in the G League.

Oni and the Magic reached an agreement on a non-guaranteed Exhibit 10 deal Tuesday, Jason Beede of the Orlando Sentinel reports.

EDGE Analysis

Oni appeared in 80 games for Utah between 2019-20 and 2021-22, but he hasn't played in an NBA contest since. The 6-foot-5 guard out of Yale will get a chance to compete during training camp, but in the likely event he doesn't make the opening day roster, the Magic will retain Oni's G League rights for the 2023-24 campaign.

The Pelicans didn't re-sign Oni after his 10-day contract expired Monday, Keith Smith of Spotrac.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Both Oni and Zylan Cheatham won't be retained after the two joined the Pelicans on 10-day hardship exemption deals when Willy Hernangomez and Garrett Temple were in the NBA's COVID-19 health and safety protocols. Hernangomez and Temple have since cleared the protocols and returned to action, leaving Oni and Cheatham ineligible to play for the Pelicans. Oni didn't make any appearances for the Pelicans during his week-and-a-half-long stint with the team.

Oni signed a 10-day hardship contract with the Pelicans on Friday, Andrew Lopez of ESPN.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Oni was waived by the Jazz last month after appearing in 16 games and averaging 0.3 points in 2.8 minutes per contest. He figures to have a small role again with the Pelicans.

The Jazz traded Oni and a 2028 second-round pick to the Thunder, who then waived the 24-year-old to open up a roster spot Tuesday, Adrian Wojnarowski of ESPN reports.

EDGE Analysis

Oni appeared in 16 games for the Jazz during his third season with the team and averaged a career-low 2.8 minutes per game. The trade allowed the Jazz to save money and open a roster spot, while the move to waive Oni also allowed the Thunder to open up a roster spot ahead of the February trade deadline. It's unclear what the future holds for the former Yale Bulldog.

Oni (ankle) is available for Thursday's matchup against the Timberwolves.

EDGE Analysis

Oni hasn't played in Utah's past three games. That said, he's a small part of the rotation, and his availability doesn't change much.

Oni (ankle) is questionable for Thursday's game against the Timberwolves.

EDGE Analysis

Oni is still dealing with a right ankle sprain, and his status for Thursday's game remains questionable. His absence wouldn't affect Utah's rotation much, as Oni is averaging just 2.9 minutes per game this season.

Oni wasn't active for Monday's 112-102 win over the Hornets due to a right ankle sprain.

EDGE Analysis

Oni hadn't left the bench in either of the Jazz's previous two contests, so his absence is unlikely to affect head coach Quin Snyder's rotation plans. The third-year forward is averaging 2.9 minutes per game in 14 appearances on the season.
