Otega

Oweh

The hope was that this wasn’t the case after the injury happened on Tuesday, but it was unfortunately so. Otega had surgery Wednesday on his ruptured right Achilles tendon. He was known as a driver in college with an NBA body. Considering he is a player who is physical and very athletic, the hope is that it doesn’t impact his athleticism when he gets back on the court. Otega wasn’t likely to impact redraft leagues this season, but its a bummer for those holding in dynasty.

Oweh played two seasons at Oklahoma before transferring to Kentucky, with the 2025-26 season being his most productive. In 36 games, the 6-foot-5 guard averaged 18.6 points, 4.8 rebounds, 2.7 assists, 1.8 steals and 1.3 three-pointers, shooting 46.5 percent from the field and 73.1 percent from the foul line. While Oweh’s perimeter shot needs some work, he’s a power guard capable of getting to the basket off the dribble or knocking down mid-range shots. Having his draft rights traded to the Thunder makes for an interesting opportunity for Oweh. With Luguentz Dort possessing a team option for next season, playing time could be freed up if Oklahoma City moves the veteran stopper. Oweh is not at that level as a defender, but he has a pro-ready body and could help fill the void if Oklahoma City moves on from Dort.
