The Washington Wizards plan on waiving forward Eugene Omoruyi, according to Josh Robbins of The Athletic.
The Washington Wizards are expected to waive Eugene Omoruyi today, a league source told @TheAthleticNBA. Omoruyi's salary of $2.2 million for the 2024-25 is non-guaranteed, and waiving him would reduce the Wizards' roster to 16 players, not counting people on two-way contracts.

Omoruyi averaged 4.8 points and 2.0 rebounds per game in the 2023-24 season with Wizards in 43 appearances. He is expected to make $2.2 million next season if he’s on an NBA roster, but this amount is non-guaranteed.
