Jahlil Okafor gets two-game suspension

Brown said he wasn’t angry with Okafor, but also said the center from Duke didn’t give him the whole story during a conversation in Houston after the first video.

The only positives to Okafor’s temporary ban are it’s an early lesson for him in his career, and it will provide opportunities for other frontcourt players to contribute in different ways.

The Sixers, who were without suspended center Jahlil Okafor, were hoping to start streaking in the opposite direction.

Whether or not he’s a rookie at this point doesn’t matter. Sampson also hauled in six rebounds. “I don’t look at it as a awful”. I thought across the board, I don’t fault our energy.

Brown said it was too early to say how the Sixers would go about helping Okafor, who may be in need of counseling. “Last night took its toll”.

The team released a very short statement on the suspension. It’s happened on at least two occasions, according to video evidence, and recently he knocked one dude unconscious. While we are disappointed with his recent actions, e have faith in him as a valued member of the Sixers. “Brett Brown spoke about the organization’s approach to arriving at a decision about Okafor”.

When asked about how he feels about Porzingis’ game, head coach Derek Fisher responded saying, “He’s just fully present even though he’s making mistakes…” “The club felt like this was the thing we could do two-fold”. “He did a couple of stupid things, and so knock him for it. Suspend him, but let’s move on”. He will be eligible to return for Monday’s game versus the Spurs. Okafor was selected third overall in the 2015 NBA Draft.

Sixers forward Jerami Grant, older brother of Jerian Grant, scored six points on 2-for-10 shooting which included an air ball that garnered disturbed reactions from the fans.

“He’s a big part of our offence, a big part of what we do”, Sixers guard-forward JaKarr Sampson, 22, told Reuters about Okafor after warming up for the game against the Knicks. “A lot of guys are not used to that road trip that we were on. That travel can get strenuous at times”. He extended his recent stretch of strong play by generating a double-double for the fourth time in seven outings.

Liam is a 20 year old sports journalist and Motorsport Commentator from the United Kingdom and founder of the Philly Sports Network. Brown said he was surprised by what he saw in the new one. “Nobody is taking this anything else but extremely serious”.
