Milano Is Preparing to Add Ze'Rik Onyema in the Paint

EuroLeague club Olimpia Milano is preparing to add American center Ze'Rik Onyema, who plays for Scafati Basket, in order to strengthen its frontcourt rotation. According to SuperBasket sources, the Italian club will sign the 25-year-old, 2.06-meter player by paying his buy-out fee.

Under new head coach Luca Banchi, Milano aims to add depth to its big man rotation in the absence of the injured Devin Booker. The transfer is expected to be officially announced early next week.

Onyema was not selected in the 2025 NBA Draft and began his professional career with Finland's Salon Vilpas. He transferred to Scafati in July. In seven Italian League games, he averaged 26.4 minutes and posted averages of 11.4 points, 5.9 rebounds and 1.1 blocks on 66.7% shooting from the field. He drew attention with a 20-point performance against Virtus Bologna and a 19-point game against Verona.
