Ojeleye has signed a contract with Virtus in Italy, Keith Smith of Spotrac.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Ojeleye saw action with the Bucks and Clippers last season but failed to make an impact. He should see more playing time and have an opportunity to rehabilitate his value overseas.

Ojeleye is being waived by the Clippers to open up a roster spot for the conversion of Amir Coffey's two-way contract to a standard NBA contract, Andrew Greif of the Los Angeles Times reports.
EDGE Analysis
Ojeleye was part of a four-team trade in February, landing with the Clippers after beginning the season with Milwaukee. He averaged fewer than 10 minutes per contest in his 10 appearances with Los Angeles but showed marked improvement from the field in route to 4.1 points per game. Unfortunately, he didn't do enough to maintain his roster spot, which will now go to Coffey.

Ojeleye finished Friday's 121-92 loss to the Jazz with 13 points (3-9 FG, 1-2 3Pt, 6-6 FT), six rebounds, one assist and two steals across 24 minutes.
EDGE Analysis
The Clippers trailed by 37 at halftime and got little production from their starters, giving players like Ojeleye more opportunity than usual. The fifth-year forward logged his most minutes as a Clipper and finished with his highest scoring output of the season, finishing with double-digit points for just the second time. Ojeleye put forth tepid production even when regularly playing 20-30 minutes for Milwaukee earlier this season, so there's little reason to expect this solid effort to portend sudden fantasy relevance.

Ojeleye provided nine points (3-4 FG, 1-1 3Pt, 2-3 FT), three rebounds, one assist and one block across 20 minutes during Monday's 120-111 overtime loss to the Cavaliers.
EDGE Analysis
Ojeleye had easily his best game since getting dealt to the Clippers at the trade deadline. He combined for just 28 minutes over his last four games, denoting the boost in playing time. Robert Convington (personal) being inactive could be a partial explanation, but it'll be worth monitoring the role Ojeleye will settle into regardless.

Ojeleye (recently traded) isn't listed on the official injury report and should be available for Monday's game against the Warriors.
EDGE Analysis
Though Ojeleye is on track to be in uniform Monday, he'll likely find himself outside of the Clippers' rotation, as was typically the case during his time in Milwaukee earlier this season. The fifth-year forward has made only 20 appearances on the season, averaging 2.9 points and 2.9 rebounds in 15.4 minutes.

Ojeleye (recently traded) won't play Saturday against the Mavericks, Law Murray of The Athletic reports.
EDGE Analysis
Ojeleye was traded from the Bucks to the Clippers on Thursday but won't be able to join the team for its road matchup against Dallas. The 27-year-old will have another chance to make his debut at home against the Warriors on Monday.

Ojeleye was traded to the Clippers in a four-team deal Thursday, Adrian Wojnarowski of ESPN reports. The Clippers also received Semi Ojeleye. The Kings got Donte DiVincenzo, Trey Lyles and Josh Jackson. The Bucks acquired Serge Ibaka, two future second-round picks and cash. The Pistons got Marvin Bagley.
EDGE Analysis
Ojeleye is a throw-in from the Bucks to acquire Ibaka, as the former had fallen out of the rotation. Ojeleye hasn't seen double-digit minutes since Jan. 8, and the last time he appeared in three consecutive games was late December. He's unlikely to occupy a bigger role with the Clippers.

Ojeleye (coach's decision) went unused off the bench Monday in the Bucks' 103-99 loss to the Hornets.
EDGE Analysis
The returns of Donte DiVincenzo (ankle) and Pat Connaughton (COVID-19 health and safety protocols) were enough to bump Ojeleye out of the rotation. The veteran forward had logged double-digit minutes in both of the past two games, in what marked his first appearances since Dec. 23 following a stint in the protocols. Now that the Bucks are inching closer to full strength, Ojeleye appears unlikely to play in most competitive contests.

Ojeleye (COVID-19 protocols) is available Wednesday against the Raptors, Stephen Watson of WISN12 News reports.
EDGE Analysis
Ojeleye has been a fringe rotation option all season, but he could see action with the Bucks down six players. In his 14 appearances, he's averaged 3.2 points and 3.9 rebounds in 18.7 minutes.

Ojeleye (COVID-19 protocols) is questionable for Wednesday's game against the Raptors.
EDGE Analysis
Ojeleye is a fringe part of the Bucks' rotation. Even if available, he might not see the court.
