A big man being injured on the Philadelphia 76ers is nothing new for fans. Joel Embiid is now missing his entire second season because of a foot bone being broken. Jahlil Okafor is now joining that category after sitting out one game Monday night against the New York Knicks with a sore knee.
Keith Pompey of Philly.com reported on Tuesday afternoon that Okafor was still out with his knee injury. The headline is scary, but the contents inside of Pompey’s reporting tell a different story, and Okafor is clearly not actually injured.
