The game was close. It went into overtime. It went into double overtime. But Jahlil Okafor sat. The Sixers needed offense. They squeezed out just enough to send the game against the New York Knicks into double overtime. Still, he sat. In fact, he sat through the fourth quarter and through both overtimes. What gives?
