Jordan Nwora: Everything you need to know

Nwora signed a one-year contract with Turkish club Anadolu Efes on Monday. The contract includes an option for the 2025-26 season, so Nwora could pursue a return to the NBA -- or elect to stick around with Anadolu Efes -- following the upcoming campaign. Nwora will head overseas for the first time in his career after he spent four seasons in the NBA upon entering the league as a second-round pick of the Bucks in 2020. He split the 2023-24 season between the Pacers and Raptors, appearing in 52 games (one start) while averaging 7.0 points, 2.9 rebounds, 1.2 assists and 0.8 three-pointers in 13.7 minutes per contest.

Nwora chipped in 14 points (6-10 FG, 2-4 3Pt), 11 rebounds and one assist over 20 minutes during Sunday's 118-103 loss to Miami. Nwora saw regular minutes for the Raptors off the bench since the beginning of March, and while his playing time was not enough to make him a viable fantasy alternative across all formats, he certainly tried to make the most of his minutes whenever his name was called upon duty. Nwora scored in double digits in 12 of his 22 appearances from March 1 onward, including five of his last eight.

Nwora (undisclosed) isn't listed on Toronto's injury report ahead of Wednesday's game against the Nets, Josh Lewenberg of TSN.ca reports. Nwora suffered an unspecified injury during the final minutes of Tuesday's loss to the Pacers, but it appears it was a minor issue. Nwora could be in store for elevated usage Wednesday, as RJ Barrett (knee) and Kelly Olynyk (rest) are out, while Gary Trent (back), Bruce Brown (knee) and Gradey Dick (groin) are all questionable.
