Okafor (ankle) logged 20 points (7-9 FG, 3-5 FT), six rebounds, two assists and two blocks in 27 minutes during Sunday's 117-110 win over Austin.

EDGE Analysis

Okafor missed Friday's game due to an ankle injury but was back in action Sunday following a minimal absence. He's now scored 20-plus points in two of his last four appearances, and he's shot 75.6 percent from the floor over that stretch.

Okafor didn't play Friday against Lakeland due to an ankle injury.

EDGE Analysis

Okafor scored in double figures in four of the first five games of the season but was unable to suit up Friday. It's not yet clear when he'll be able to return.

Okafor posted 26 points (11-14 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 2-2 FT), six rebounds, two assists and a block in 33 minutes during Thursday's 108-93 win over the Hustle.

EDGE Analysis

Okafor was quite efficient with plenty of shot volume during Thursday's matchup, and he scored in double figures for the second time over the first three games of the season. He's seen his playing time increase to begin the year and has also hauled in at least six rebounds in every game.

Okafor was waived by Atlanta on Monday, Sarah K. Spencer of The Atlanta Journal-Constitution reports.

EDGE Analysis

Okafor landed a non-guaranteed contract with the Hawks in mid-September but won't remain with the club to begin the regular season. The 25-year-old averaged 5.4 points and 2.4 rebounds in 12.9 minutes per game across 27 appearances with the Pistons last year.

Okafor signed a non-guaranteed contract with the Hawks on Thursday, Shams Charania of The AThletic reports.

EDGE Analysis

The veteran big man spent last season in Detroit, where he appeared in just 27 games and averaged 5.4 points and 2.4 rebounds. The 2015 No. 3 overall pick did not receive much interest in free agency, but he'll latch on with Atlanta and attempt to make enough of an impact to eventually convert his deal to a fully guaranteed contract. Early in the season, Okafor figures to provide depth at center while Onyeka Okongwu (shoulder) recovers from offseason surgery.

Okafor was waived by the Nets on Thursday, Shams Charania of The Athletic reports.

EDGE Analysis

Unsurprisingly, the Nets let Okafor go, as the team has plenty of depth at center. The former No. 3 overall pick from 2015 continues to bounce around the league, and wherever he lands next will be his fifth franchise. For his career, he's averaged 10.4 points and 4.7 rebounds in 19.5 minutes.

Okafor -- along with Sekou Doumbouya -- were traded to Brooklyn for DeAndre Jordan, four future second-round picks and $5.78 million, Adrian Wojnarowski of ESPN reports.

EDGE Analysis

Okafor posted a career-low 5.4 points and 2.4 rebounds per game for the Pistons last season. It's unclear what the Nets will elect to do with Okafor as they likely were only making this move to move on from DeAndre Jordan's contract.

Okafor will start Friday's contest against the Nuggets, James L. Edwards III of The Athletic reports.

EDGE Analysis

With both Mason Plumlee (rest) and Isaiah Stewart (personal) out, Okafor will make his first start of the season. In the 11 games this season that Okafor has seen at least 15 minutes, he's averaged 6.9 points and 3.3 rebounds.

Okafor posted 12 points (5-5 FG, 2-2 FT) and four rebounds in 22 minutes off the bench Tuesday in the Pistons' 102-99 loss to the Hornets.

EDGE Analysis

Okafor was inactive for the Pistons' previous two games with a "not with team" designation, but he returned to action Monday. Detroit was resting Mason Plumlee for the third game in a row, which allowed Okafor to step into the rotation as the backup center behind Isaiah Stewart. If Plumlee is cleared to play Thursday against the Grizzlies, Okafor may not get minutes in a competitive game.

Okafor is not on the injury report ahead of Tuesday's game against Charlotte.

EDGE Analysis

A personal matter kept Okafor away from the team for the last two games, but it looks like he'll be back to active status Tuesday night. With Mason Plumlee resting for the fourth straight game, Okafor should be in line for some reserve minutes behind projected starter Isaiah Stewart.
