Ochai Agbaji

Agbaji was waived by the Knicks earlier this month. Charania reported Friday that he was signed by the Thunder, but Oklahoma City is re-evaluating its open roster spot in light of losing Holmgren (knee) for at least two months. It appears Agbaji will have to catch on with another team.

Agbaji will fill out Oklahoma City’s depth, and with Jalen Williams (leg), Alex Caruso (ankle) and Cason Wallace (shoulder) all out, Agbaji could see some rotation minutes immediately. He’s only worth an add in deep leagues.

New York released Drew Eubanks earlier in the day, and Bradley and Agbaji are the latest cuts as the team pares down its roster ahead of the 2026-27 season.

Exhibit 9 contracts are non-guaranteed contracts for training camp that protect the team if the player suffers a significant injury before the start of the regular season. With the Knicks lacking cap space and needing depth, experienced veterans that can be had on minimum contracts like Agbaji and Wiseman are useful additions. Neither player should have much of an impact in fantasy leagues, though.

Available for Sunday’s season finale, Agbaji has not played in four of the Nets’ last five games. He isn’t guaranteed to get rotation minutes, so managers in active fantasy leagues should leave Agbaji on the waiver wire.

Making sense of which Nets reserves will figure prominently in Jordi Fernandez’s rotation on any given night is a near-impossible task. After totaling 15 minutes in losses to the Kings and Trail Blazers, Agbaji played 21 minutes in Friday’s loss to the Lakers. On Sunday, he earned 25 minutes and matched his season-high with 18 points. Hopefully, Agbaji’s performance was good enough to earn him more rotation minutes in Week 23, but that isn’t guaranteed.

Agbaji was initially listed as probable with an ankle injury for Saturday’s game against the 76ers, so his availability isn’t much of a surprise. The 25-year-old shooting guard should see rotation minutes with Michael Porter Jr. (ankle) ruled out, but Agbaji still isn’t worth rostering in most fantasy leagues.

Agbaji was not officially ruled out for either of the Nets’ last two games, but he did not see any action. With Michael Porter Jr. (ankle) likely to miss another game, there may be rotation minutes available to Agbaji. However, that isn’t enough to make him a player worth rostering in redraft leagues.

Even though Danny Wolf was the Nets player called upon to fill in for Michael Porter Jr. (rest), MPJ’s absence also meant more playing time for Agbaji. He made the most of his 22 minutes, with Ochai’s 19 points a new season-high. Add in the production across the board, and Monday was a good night for the few who rostered Agbaji. His fantasy value for the rest of the season will be influenced by Porter’s availability, but he’ll be no higher than second in the pecking order behind Wolf when MPJ doesn’t play.

After playing 16 minutes in his Nets’ debut, Agbaji logged 28 minutes on Thursday and was reasonably productive. However, his best chance at fantasy relevance may come on nights when Michael Porter Jr. and Noah Clowney are either unavailable or play limited minutes. That was the case in Cleveland, with MPJ playing 21 minutes and Clowney (eight points, one rebound, two assists and two three-pointers) playing 20. Agbaji isn’t a must-add, but he is worth keeping an eye on.

Agbaji was acquired from the Raptors on Wednesday, but the deal is still being finalized, so he will not suit up on Thursday. His next chance to make his Nets debut will be on Saturday against the Wizards. That should mean more minutes for Ziaire Williams and Ben Saraf on Thursday.

Agbaji fell out of the rotation in Toronto, and now he’ll get a fresh start in Brooklyn. The former lottery pick should fill out some minutes on the wing, which could alter Ziaire Williams’ place in the rotation. Agbaji could end up making a large impact for fantasy managers during silly season, but he shouldn’t be rostered at this point.

Quickley is back after a two-game absence and will start. However, his return pushes Jamal Shead to the bench, with Agbaji getting another start. The decision was likely motivated by the matchup, with Agbaji possibly being asked to defend Luka Dončić from the start.

Agbaji missed Thursday’s game against the Lakers for personal reasons and will miss Friday’s game against the Hornets as well. Without the 25-year-old guard, AJ Lawson could pick up additional minutes.

No word has been given on why Agbaji will be sidelined. However, the Raptors will have AJ Lawson back on Thursday, and he can step into a few more minutes.

No surprise here as Agbaji was initially listed as probable with a back injury. The 25-year-old shooting guard should see some extra minutes with Collin Murray Boyles (knee) out against the 76ers on Wednesday, but still isn’t a worthwhile streamer with Toronto’s starting lineup at full strength.

Agbaji is expected to be back after a four-game absence, where he has played a limited reserve role this year. Gradey Dick and Ja’Kobe Walter should lose out on a few minutes, but there won’t be much of an impact on the rotation.

Minutes after being downgraded from questionable to doubtful, Agbaji was officially ruled out for Monday’s game. While his continued absence does not significantly affect fantasy basketball, it has led to a few more minutes for fellow reserves Gradey Dick and Ja’Kobe Walter. However, neither has been productive enough to merit being rostered in redraft leagues.

Agbaji has missed Toronto’s last three games, which has led to more minutes for fellow reserves Gradey Dick and Ja’Kobe Walter. Neither has done enough to merit being streamed during this stretch, and there won’t be a reason to consider rostering Agbaji if he’s available, either.

Agbaji will miss a third straight game. Gradey Dick and Ja’Kobe Walter have been filling out the reserve wing minutes with Agbaji unavailable, which will likely continue in this game, though neither has been worth rostering in standard leagues.
