Rookie forward Jahlil Okafor has been ruled out for Philadelphia’s game at Washington due to a bruised right shin.
Okafor got hurt during his 26-point performance in Sunday’s loss at Orlando. The No. 3 overall pick in last year’s draft is averaging 17.5 points and 7.0 rebounds.
Coach Brett Brown thinks the 20-year-old Okafor will only have to miss one game.
Jerami Grant is slated to start in Okafor’s place.
