Philadelphia keeping Jahlil Okafor (knee) sidelined Friday and Sunday
Philadelphia 76ers center Jahlil Okafor (right knee soreness) will not play against the Cleveland Cavaliers on Friday or the Toronto Raptors on Sunday.
What It Means:
Okafor has already missed the past four games and there remains a pretty strong likelihood that the 76ers choose to hold him out for the rest of the season. Richaun Holmes will continue to get all the run he can handle coming off his career-high 25 point performance on Wednesday night. He continues to be a must-own guy while Shawn Long has some modest deep-league value as Holme's backup. Okafor will be a popular name in trade rumors this offseason.
Holmes is averaging 14.3 points, 7.0 rebounds, 0.8 steals and 0.8 blocks over the last four games with Okafor on the sidelines.
