Jahlil Okafor, Still Out

Jahlil Okafor is not healthy. He’s missed three of the last four games and is ruled out for tonight. Since the new year, Okafor hasn’t played in a stretch of more than six straight games. He’s missed 19. And while he seems to play every couple of games or so before missing more time, he’s not up to much:
Brown on Okafor: "He's been doing slight stuff & we're still paying attn. to his cardio. But in general, he hasn't been doing very much."

“I’m a complete prisoner to his body and medical news,” Brown told Keith Pompey. “We will react when the medical people tell me.”
Jah said the team is, as always, just being super cautious. But the soreness that won’t seem to go away in his surgically repaired knee doesn’t point to caution, it points to yet another recurring/non-healing injury for a team already facing two big ones.
When he's not writing about sports here or ranting about them on Twitter, Jim is probably watching X-Files on Netflix or drinking a beer somewhere. Jim has nothing against hockey, it's just not his style. He once met Duce Staley at a Sixers game.
