Following a midseason trade to Indiana from Milwaukee, Nwora cobbled together some nice performances down the stretch during the 2022-23 campaign. Over the final two months, he put up averages of 13.0 points, 4.7 rebounds and 1.9 three-pointers in 24.6 minutes per night. While there is certainly some offensive upside there, the immediate future for Nwora is clouded, to say the least. In fact, there is a chance he won't leave the bench some nights, playing behind the likes of Bennedict Mathurin, Jarace Walker, Buddy Hield, Obi Toppin and Bruce Brown. He could be used for streaming purposes should injuries to other players open up some additional playing time. With that said, he only offers upside in scoring and threes, making him a very specific target. Read Past Outlooks
$Signed a two-year, $5.8 million contract with the Bucks in September of 2022. Traded to the Pacers in February of 2023.
Personal Bio/PreCareer Summary
Jordan Nwora was born Sept. 9, 1988 to parents Amy and Alex Nwora, who he credits as the biggest influences in his athletic career. He also has three younger siblings: Ronni, Caeli and Alexis. Nwora attended high school at The Park School in Snyder, New York, where he won a state championship his junior year and tallied over 1,000 career points. He moved to The Vermont Academy for his senior season and put up over 500 total points. Nwora ultimately selected Louisville over the likes of NC State, California, Georgia Tech, Marquette and Oklahoma State, and majored in exercise science while with the Cardinals. The celebrity Nwora would most like to meet is Beyonce, and he feels Will Smith would be the best choice to play him in a movie. You can follow Nwora on Twitter (@JordanNwora) or on Instagram (@jordannwora). Nwora may not have entered Louisville with five-star recruiting hype, but he came ready to work and gradually improved with each season of play. He scored 5.7 points over 28 appearances in his freshman season, but took a massive leap forward in his sophomore year. Suddenly Nwora was the focal point of the offense, putting up 17.0 points and 7.6 rebounds. He won Most Improved Player in the ACC that season while also receiving a third-team All-ACC nod. Nwora got his draft stock tested after that breakout year, but ultimately elected to return to Louisville for his junior season. The 6-7 forward was a third-team All-American selection and first-team All-ACC after putting up career highs in scoring (18.0 ppg) and rebounding (7.7 rpg). He was runner-up in ACC Player of the Year voting, plus was a finalist for the Julius Erving Award and even made the Wooden Award ballot.
Drops 19 in Sunday's win
FIndiana Pacers
April 9, 2023
Nwora recorded 19 points (7-10 FG, 4-6 3Pt, 1-1 FT), four rebounds and one block across 23 minutes during Sunday's 141-136 win over the Knicks.
ANALYSIS Making his seventh straight start to close out the campaign, Nwora continued to provide an offensive spark for the Pacers. Whether coming off the bench or in the starting five, the 24-year-old scored in double digits in 19 of the last 21 games and averaged 14.3 points a night over that stretch. Nwora has taken a few years to find his footing in the NBA, but he could take on a bigger role with Indiana next season.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
New life in Indiana
FIndiana Pacers
March 20, 2023
Nwora is shooting 48.0 percent from the field and 42.6 percent from beyond the arc en route to 12.1 points per game since joining the Pacers.
ANALYSIS In total, Nwora is posting 12.1 points, 4.5 rebounds and 2.4 assists across his 13 contests in Indiana. The 24-year-old was shooting a very sound 39.2 percent on 2.7 three-point attempts per game for Milwaukee this season, but his playing time had dwindled to just 15.7 minutes per game. At 6-foot-8, Nwora factors nicely into the Pacers' dearth of combo forwards, and he's on track to receive sizable playing time for the remainder of the season.
Nwora played in just 30 games during his rookie season, most of them coming when the Bucks had injury issues or in lopsided contests. When presented the opportunity, Nwora was able to show some potential as he scored 20-plus points in three games and racked up a career-high 34 points in May. Given the Bucks' solid core, Nwora is unlikely to earn substantially more minutes or make enough of an impact in the upcoming campaign to be relevant in fantasy leagues.
