If you're reading this expecting Jahlil Okafor to play, it's too late.
Games like tonight's are a litmus test in asking yourself this innocuous question: do I have a problem? It's one thing to justify dishing out $15 (or $5, if you've purchased it in the last couple of days) in order to watch Jahlil Okafor's first action against sub-NBA competition. It's worth it when tuning in to see Jerami Grant posterize some fool, or to witness Furkan Aldemir raining threes. But tonight's game will feature none of those.
Grant and Aldemir were left off the Vegas roster, and Okafor's getting a much-needed night off:
Jahlil Okafor, TJ McConnell and JP Tokoto will not play tonight vs the Celtics to rest.
