Nets vs 76ers

NEW YORK -- In June 2015, Jahlil Okafor walked on the stage at Barclays Center and doffed a Philadelphia 76ers cap as the No. 3 pick in the draft.

After leading Duke to a national title in his lone collegiate season, Okafor was tabbed as another piece in Philadelphia's rebuilding efforts.

It did not work out and last month Okafor was traded to the Brooklyn Nets. On Wednesday, it will be a reunion between the center and Philadelphia when the teams get together in Brooklyn.

Okafor only appeared in two games for the 76ers this season after dealing with knee issues last season.
