Nogueira had his team option for the 2016-17 season picked up on Tuesday, Marc J. Spears of Yahoo reports.

Analysis:

The option is for just over $1.9 million. Nogueira saw action in just six games last season, finishing with averages of 1.0 points, 0.2 assists, and 1.8 rebounds over four minutes per game. The Brazilian remains buried on the depth chart at center behind the likes of Jonas Valanciunas, Luis Scola, and Bismack Biyombo, so don't expect him to provide much fantasy value in the coming season.
