Jahlil Okafor

76ers' Jahlil Okafor will play on Friday

Philadelphia 76ers center Jahlil Okafor will play versus the Houston Rockets on Friday, despite video surfacing of him punching a heckler in Boston.

What It Means:

It would be a surprise if there were no repercussions for Okafor, but for now he'll be playing.

Okafor is leading the 76ers in minutes played, points, and blocks per game, and is second on the team in rebounds per game. Our numbers project him for 18 points and 8 boards tonight against Houston.
