Jahlil Okafor (ankle) doubtful for Pistons versus Warriors
Detroit Pistons center Jahlil Okafor (sprained right ankle) is doubtful for Tuesday's game versus the Golden State Warriors.
What It Means:
Okafor also missed Monday's contest after injuring his foot over the weekend. Isaiah Stewart, who was making his NBA debut, stepped into the backup center role for Detroit and provided 2 points, 8 rebounds, and 2 assists in 14 minutes. Stewart may not be needed as much Tuesday, however, with Blake Griffin (rest) back in action. Okafor's next chance to play will be on Friday versus the Boston Celtics.
Stewart averaged 0.9 FanDuel points per minute in his NBA debut and he has a salary of $3,500 on Tuesday's slate. Early in the season, the Pistons rank 24th (103.0) in estimated offensive rating.
