Syracuse, N.Y. -- Arinze Onuaku sat on a sofa in the Syracuse basketball locker room last Saturday, soaking in the post-win glow of the Orange's win over Florida State.
Onuaku, the former Orange center blessed with offensive skills and power around the basket but cursed by untimely injuries, had spent the previous day at a Syracuse practice. He showed up in the dome just as Syracuse players were set to work and spent some time talking with Orange coaches.
He had not been back for a game, he said, since 2011. His basketball odyssey has taken him to different states, different countries and for the first time this season, a relatively prolonged period in the NBA.
