Ojeleye has reached a deal to join the Bucks, according to Adrian Wojnarowski of ESPN.
EDGE Analysis
Ojeleye spent the first four seasons of his career with the Celtics but never settled as a regular contributor for the team. He posted career-high marks across the board in the 2020-21 season, averaging 4.6 points, 2.6 rebounds and 0.7 assists per game, but he doesn't figure to have anything more than a bench role when playing for the reigning league champions. The deal will be a one-year contract.

Ojeleye played seven minutes off the bench in Friday's 145-136 overtime win over the Timberwolves, tallying three points (1-3 FG, 1-2 3Pt) and one rebound.
EDGE Analysis
Though head coach Brad Stevens ran a 10-man rotation Friday, it was tighter than usual. Two of the Celtics' reserve players -- Ojeleye and Romeo Langford (five minutes) -- both played single-digit minutes while four of the starters played at least 39 minutes in the contest. Since returning from a six-game absence due to a hip injury, Ojeleye hasn't topped 13 minutes in any of his three appearances. He could be in danger of falling out of the rotation entirely once Evan Fournier (COVID-19 health and safety protocols) is cleared to play again.

Ojeleye (hip) is not listed on the injury report for Tuesday's game against the 76ers.
EDGE Analysis
Ojeleye has missed the last six games due to a hip injury, but it looks like he will make his return Tuesday. Ojeleye has averaged 19.1 minutes per game so far this season, but he might see a slightly smaller workload at first as the team gets him back into game shape.

Coach Brad Stevens said after Saturday's win over the Thunder that Ojeleye (hip) will be sidelined for at least 10 more days, Brian Robb of The Springfield Republican reports.
EDGE Analysis
The 26-year-old was unavailable for Thursday's and Saturday's contests due to the hip injury and likely will miss at least six more games. Grant Williams could continue to have an increased role in Ojeleye's absence.
