Miye Oni is no longer on the Los Angeles Clippers' roster as of Sunday, Oct. 18. The move follows a Saturday report that the Clippers were cutting multiple players, including Blake Wesley.
The move
Miye Oni, a 29-year-old guard-forward with three NBA seasons of experience, is off the Clippers' roster as of Sunday, Oct. 18, according to the official roster. The move follows a Saturday, Oct. 17 report from HoopsRumors, "Clippers Cut Blake Wesley, Three Others," which carried no listed confidence level. Oni had no NBA line last season.
The money
Oni's contract is not on file yet; public salary data can lag a signing or a cut by a day, so there are no terms to report on this move. The Clippers carry $193.7 million in payroll across 19 contracts for 2026-27, over the $165.0 million salary cap but under the $200.4 million luxury tax line. The first apron sits at $209.0 million and the second apron at $221.7 million.
The fit
Oni played no NBA minutes last season. The Clippers' perimeter rotation is set without him: James Harden led at 35.4 minutes and 25.4 points per game, with Kawhi Leonard at 32.1 minutes and 27.9 points. Darius Garland (29.1 minutes, 19.9 points), Bennedict Mathurin (28.0 minutes, 17.4 points), Kris Dunn (27.2 minutes, 7.3 points) and Derrick Jones Jr. (27.0 minutes, 10.1 points) also log time on the wing. The roster stands at 18, matching the standard limit of 15 plus three two-way slots.
