76ers' Jahlil Okafor: Out Sunday vs. Pacers

Okafor (knee) has officially been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Pacers, Jessica Camerato of CSN Philadelphia reports.

Analysis:

Okafor was listed as doubtful earlier Sunday, so this was the expected course of action all along. He'll miss a second consecutive game and third over the 76ers' last four games, with his next opportunity to take the floor coming Tuesday against the Nets. Look for Richaun Holmes to pick up the start and see the bulk of the workload at center, while Shawn Long should have a bigger role off the bench after putting up a career-high 18 points and seven rebounds in 19 minutes Friday against the Bulls.
