Facts is facts.
Sunday, for the seventh straight game, Jahlil Okafor’s role on the Nets was reduced to cheerleading, not shedding his warm-ups for an even a cameo appearance. In fact, he’s played a total of 25 minutes in the past month. His situation is only marginally better than it was in Philadelphia who traded him to Brooklyn back in early December.
Now, with the season (mercifully) winding down, the question is will he be back. The Nets have hinted that they’d like to see what he can do after a full summer working with the coaching and performance staffs, but Okafor is unsure of how that’s going to improve things.
