76ers' Jahlil Okafor: Doubtful Sunday vs. Pacers

Okafor (knee) is unlikely to play in Sunday's game against the Pacers, Keith Pompey of the Philadelphia Inquirer reports.

Analysis:

Okafor has been dealing with a sore right knee and has missed two of the 76ers' last three games. Coach Brett Brown said he fully expects Okafor to remain on the sidelines Sunday, which should result in another start for Richaun Holmes. In his previous seven starts, Holmes has averaged 13.0 points, 6.3 rebounds and 1.6 assists across 26.0 minutes. Look for confirmation on Okafor's status sometime closer to the 6:00 p.m. ET tip off.
