The Indiana Pacers announced Thursday that they have waived forward Omari Johnson and guard Elijah Stewart. Johnson is a 28-year-old forward out of Oregon State who played in four games for Memphis last season. He appeared in one preseason game for Indiana, collecting five rebounds in 12 minutes against the Grizzlies on Oct. 6.
After finishing off the 2017-18 season with the Memphis Grizzlies, Omari Johnson will play for the Golden State Warriors during NBA Summer League, RidiculousUpside.com has learned. This news comes just two days after the Grizzlies waived him. The 28 year old received a late season NBA call-up (the first of his career) and appeared in four April contests for the big league club. He spent most of the campaign playing for the G League affiliate Memphis Hustle, averaging 16.5 points on 46% from the field and 42% from deep to go with 6.4 rebounds. He provided an invaluable veteran presence for a young and scrappy squad full of up and comers.
