Pompey: Celtics are most likely destination for Jahlil Okafor if bought out

Keith Pompey of the Philadelphia Inquirer reported Wednesday that the Boston Celtics would be the most likely destination for Sixers center Jahlil Okafor if bought out of his contract.

Assuming @JahlilOkafor did get a buyout, the #Celtics would be the most likely destination for the center.

The Sixers recently declined Okafor’s fourth-year option for the 2018-19 season, and are looking to move the big man upon his request. Okafor reportedly wants a buyout from the Sixers, but Philadelphia’s front office has denied that request so far.
