Jahlil Okafor remains sidelined with a bruised right shin, causing him to miss Wednesday night’s matchup against the Charlotte Hornets at the Wells Fargo Center.
The 76ers rookie power forward also missed Monday’s loss to the Washington Wizards. He suffered the bruise when he bumped knees with Isaiah Canaan in Sunday’s loss to the Orlando Magic.
“It’s still something that we are concerned with,” Sixers coach Brett Brown said of not playing Okafor on Monday night. “Concerned to the point to not putting him in a position for it continue to be sore. So we are going to be smart with it and just rest him.
