Ruled out for Tuesday
Okongwu is out for Tuesday's game against the Heat due to a dental fracture, per Brad Rowland of the Locked On Podcast Network.
Analyse
Okongwu is unavailable for a third matchup in a row with the issue. The 2020 first-rounder can be considered day-to-day ahead of Thursday's tilt against the Jazz. Mouhamed Gueye and Christian Koloko could both be worthy of streaming attention Tuesday, though that does partly hinge upon the potential availability of Kristaps Porzingis (Achilles).

To miss at least two games
The Hawks are considering Okongwu day-to-day after he underwent a successful dental procedure Thursday morning.
Analyse
Okongwu has already been ruled out for Thursday night's matchup against the Rockets, but this bodes well for his future availability. That said, the Hawks are taking a slightly cautious approach and will hold out the big man at least for Saturday's tilt in Indiana as well, per Brad Rowland of the Locked On Podcast Network. Okongwu's next chance to play now comes Tuesday in Miami.

Ruled out Thursday
Okongwu (face) will not play Thursday against Houston.
Analyse
Okongwu left Wednesday's game early with a facial contusion, which has since been updated to a dental fracture. It remains to be seen if this will also sideline him Saturday against the Pacers. In the meantime, it will be interesting to see how much the Hawks utilize Christian Koloko and Mouhamed Gueye at center.

Won't return Wednesday
Okongwu won't return to Wednesday's game against the Celtics due to a facial contusion, Brad Rowland of the Locked On Podcast Network reports.
Analyse
The Hawks are calling Okongwu's injury a facial contusion, but he's got some busted teeth as well after taking an elbow to the face from Jaylen Brown. Okongwu will end his evening with 17 points (6-12 FG, 2-6 3Pt, 3-4 FT), six rebounds, three assists, two steals, one block and two turnovers across 29 minutes, and for now, he should be considered questionable for Thursday's game versus the Rockets.

Headed to locker room
Okongwu (teeth) exited to the locker room during Wednesday's game against the Celtics, Brad Rowland of the Locked On Podcast Network reports.
Analyse
Okongwu got popped in the mouth by Jaylen Brown as the latter was making a move to the hoop, and Okongwu had a couple of teeth pushed back. He'll likely need some dental work and should be considered questionable to return.
