It’s been a while since former UConn star Emeka Okafor played in the NBA. The former No. 2 overall draft pick has missed the last four seasons due to a neck injury, but has since recovered and now appears to be working towards a comeback.
According to the AP’s Jon Krawczynski, Okafor is “determined to return to the NBA”. He’s finally been cleared to play and has received some interest around the league. Despite turning 35 in September, Okafor’s time off means he won’t have as much wear and tear as other players his age.
