Magic's Miye Oni: Inks deal with Orlando
Rotowire
Oni and the Magic reached an agreement on a non-guaranteed Exhibit 10 deal Tuesday, Jason Beede of the Orlando Sentinel reports.
Oni appeared in 80 games for Utah between 2019-20 and 2021-22, but he hasn't played in an NBA contest since. The 6-foot-5 guard out of Yale will get a chance to compete during training camp, but in the likely event he doesn't make the opening day roster, the Magic will retain Oni's G League rights for the 2023-24 campaign.

Miye Oni: Not retained by New Orleans
Rotowire
The Pelicans didn't re-sign Oni after his 10-day contract expired Monday, Keith Smith of Spotrac.com reports.
Both Oni and Zylan Cheatham won't be retained after the two joined the Pelicans on 10-day hardship exemption deals when Willy Hernangomez and Garrett Temple were in the NBA's COVID-19 health and safety protocols. Hernangomez and Temple have since cleared the protocols and returned to action, leaving Oni and Cheatham ineligible to play for the Pelicans. Oni didn't make any appearances for the Pelicans during his week-and-a-half-long stint with the team.

Miye Oni: Traded, then waived
Rotowire
The Jazz traded Oni and a 2028 second-round pick to the Thunder, who then waived the 24-year-old to open up a roster spot Tuesday, Adrian Wojnarowski of ESPN reports.
Oni appeared in 16 games for the Jazz during his third season with the team and averaged a career-low 2.8 minutes per game. The trade allowed the Jazz to save money and open a roster spot, while the move to waive Oni also allowed the Thunder to open up a roster spot ahead of the February trade deadline. It's unclear what the future holds for the former Yale Bulldog.
Oni (ankle) is available for Thursday's matchup against the Timberwolves.
Oni hasn't played in Utah's past three games. That said, he's a small part of the rotation, and his availability doesn't change much.

Rotowire
Oni (ankle) is questionable for Thursday's game against the Timberwolves.

Jazz's Miye Oni: Questionable Tuesday
Rotowire
Oni (non-COVID illness) is questionable for Tuesday's contest against the Jazz, Eric Walden of The Salt Lake Tribune reports.
Oni has only played six minutes across Utah's first two contests and hasn't recorded any stats. If the 24-year-old misses Tuesday's contest, it shouldn't affect the Jazz's rotations.
Oni is in the starting lineup for Wednesday's matchup with Dallas.
With many of Utah's key players getting the night off for rest purposes, Oni will make his first start of the preseason. He averaged 1.9 points and 1.6 rebounds in 9.6 minutes per game last season.
