Questionable Sunday
Okongwu (ankle) is questionable for Sunday's game against the Hornets, Brad Rowland of the Locked On Podcast Network reports.
Análise
Okongwu sat out the first half of the Hawks' back-to-back Saturday against the Pelicans and is now questionable for Sunday's matchup with the Hornets due to left ankle inflammation. With Kristaps Porzingis (rest) sidelined, Okongwu would likely draw the start if cleared, while Mouhamed Gueye would be the next option at center if the latter is unable to go.

Won't play Saturday
Okongwu (ankle) has been ruled out for Saturday's game against the Pelicans, Kevin Chouinard of the Hawks' official site reports.
Análise
Okongwu will sit out the first leg of this back-to-back set, but maybe he'll be able to get back out there for Sunday's game against the Hornets. His absence should open up minutes for Mouhamed Gueye.

Questionable for Saturday
Okongwu is questionable for Saturday's game in New Orleans due to left ankle inflammation, Brad Rowland of the Locked On Podcast Network reports.
Análise
Okongwu tweaked his ankle during Thursday's loss to the Spurs, and with Saturday's matchup against the Pelicans being the first of a back-to-back set, he may sit that one out. If Okongwu is unavailable for Saturday's game, that would open up some minutes for Mouhamed Gueye.

Análise
Okongwu exited to the locker room in the second quarter after taking a spill, though he returned to action in the third. The big man should be able to handle his usual playing time the rest of the way.
