Ojeleye has signed a contract with Virtus in Italy, Keith Smith of Spotrac.com reports. Ojeleye saw action with the Bucks and Clippers last season but failed to make an impact. He should see more playing time and have an opportunity to rehabilitate his value overseas.

Ojeleye is being waived by the Clippers to open up a roster spot for the conversion of Amir Coffey's two-way contract to a standard NBA contract, Andrew Greif of the Los Angeles Times reports. Ojeleye was part of a four-team trade in February, landing with the Clippers after beginning the season with Milwaukee. He averaged fewer than 10 minutes per contest in his 10 appearances with Los Angeles but showed marked improvement from the field in route to 4.1 points per game. Unfortunately, he didn't do enough to maintain his roster spot, which will now go to Coffey.

Ojeleye finished Friday's 121-92 loss to the Jazz with 13 points (3-9 FG, 1-2 3Pt, 6-6 FT), six rebounds, one assist and two steals across 24 minutes. The Clippers trailed by 37 at halftime and got little production from their starters, giving players like Ojeleye more opportunities than usual. The fifth-year forward logged his most minutes as a Clipper and finished with his highest scoring output of the season, finishing with double-digit points for just the second time. Ojeleye put forth tepid production even when regularly playing 20-30 minutes for Milwaukee earlier this season, so there's little reason to expect this solid effort to lead to sudden fantasy relevance.

Ojeleye provided nine points (3-4 FG, 1-1 3Pt, 2-3 FT), three rebounds, one assist and one block across 20 minutes during Monday's 120-111 overtime loss to the Cavaliers. Ojeleye had easily his best game since getting dealt to the Clippers at the trade deadline. He combined for just 28 minutes over his last four games. Robert Convington (personal) being inactive could be a partial explanation, but it'll be worth monitoring the role Ojeleye will settle into going forward.
-
Ojeleye (recently traded) isn't listed on the official injury report and should be available for Monday's game against the Warriors. Though Ojeleye is on track to be in uniform Monday, he'll likely find himself outside of the Clippers' rotation, as was typically the case during his time in Milwaukee earlier this season. The fifth-year forward has made only 20 appearances on the season, averaging 2.9 points and 2.9 rebounds in 15.4 minutes.
