Omier, a 6-5, 248-pound forward out of Miami, played just six games for the Clippers last season, averaging 3.9 minutes, 2.8 points and 1.2 rebounds. The efficiency numbers stood out for such a small sample: 70.0 percent from the field, 100.0 percent from the line and a 75.1 true shooting percentage. His plus-minus sat at minus-3.8, and his usage rate was 18.0 percent in those brief stretches. It was a limited look, but the shooting marks gave Minnesota a reason to bring him in for 2026-27.
