The Reno Bighorns selected Arinze Onuaku in the fourth round of the NBA D-League draft Friday night.

The former Syracuse center played with the Rio Grande Valley Vipers of the NBDL and Klaipedas Neptunas of the Lietuvos krepsinion lyga (LKL) in Lithuania last year before being released after suffering a knee injury.

Onuaku played for the Orange from 2005-2010. He suffered three knee injuries during his time with the team. The center missed the entire 2006-07 after undergoing knee surgery, was hampered by a knee injury throughout the 2008-09 season and was held out of the 2010 NCAA Tournament with another serious knee injury suffered in the Big East Tournament.
