• Jordan Nwora: Makes jump to Turkey

  08/05/2024 • By RotoWire

  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 regular-season 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.

• Raptors' Jordan Nwora: Impressive off bench Sunday

  04/14/2024 • By RotoWire

  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.

• Raptors' Jordan Nwora: Not mentioned on injury report

  04/10/2024 • By RotoWire

  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.

• Raptors' Jordan Nwora: Suffers apparent injury Tuesday

  04/10/2024 • By RotoWire

  Nwora appeared to suffer an unspecified injury late in Tuesday's 140-123 loss to the Pacers and didn't check back into the game after departing with 1:55 remaining in the fourth quarter, Blake Murphy of Sportsnet.ca reports. Murphy noted that Nwora was limping to the locker room, so the fourth-year forward is presumably tending to some sort of lower-body injury. Tuesday's game was the front end of a back-to-back set for Toronto, so clarity on Nwora's status for Wednesday's matchup with the Nets may not arrive until shortly before the 7:30 p.m. ET tipoff. After being held out of the rotation in the Raptors' 130-122 loss to the Wizards on Sunday, Nwora played 19 minutes in Tuesday's contest and finished with 11 points (4-6 FG, 2-2 3Pt, 1-2 FT), three rebounds, two assists, two blocks and one steal.

• Raptors' Jordan Nwora: Records double-double from bench

  04/04/2024 • By RotoWire

  Nwora closed with 14 points (4-9 FG, 1-4 3Pt, 5-6 FT), 13 rebounds and five assists over 30 minutes during Wednesday's 133-85 loss to the Timberwolves. The Raptors' rash of absences allowed Nwora to log 30 minutes off the bench, and he played most of the second half in the blowout loss. Toronto's horrific 15-game losing streak has put the the playoffs well out of reach, so we may see more of Nwora down the stretch as the team explores the depth chart in preparation for next season.
