76ers' Okafor out vs. Jazz

Philadelphia 76ers center Jahlil Okafor has been ruled out of Monday's game against the Utah Jazz with a sore right knee, according to Keith Pompey of the Philadelphia Inquirer.

He's expected to return for Wednesday's game against the Sacramento Kings.

Okafor will miss his second straight game due to the knee soreness after sitting out Saturday's win against the Phoenix Suns, although the pain is not believed to be serious.

The rookie center leads the 76ers in points and minutes played per game with 17.6 and 32.2, respectively, and is tied with Nerlens Noel for a team-high 7.9 rebounds per game.
