INDIANAPOLIS – As much as the 76ers try to paint a positive picture, things don’t appear to be good with Jahlil Okafor’s right knee.
The center will miss his second consecutive game and ninth of the season with right knee soreness on Sunday against the Indiana Pacers at Bankers Life Fieldhouse. Okafor did not participate in Sunday morning’s shootaround. The team doesn’t know when he’ll return. The Sixers will have nine games left after facing the Pacers. Their next matchup is Tuesday night against Brooklyn Nets at the Barclays Center.
“I’m a complete prisoner to his body and medical news,” coach Brett Brown said of Okafor.
