Onyeka Okongwu Faces 15-Minute Cap In Debut Friday
4 years agoAtlanta Hawks center Onyeka Okongwu (foot) has been cleared to make his NBA debut Friday versus the Jazz, but will face a 15-minute restriction, per head coach Lloyd Pierce. Okongwu was nabbed with the sixth overall pick in the 2020 NBA Draft and is expected to play a sizable role moving forward. For the time being, he can be avoided in DFS due to his limited playing time. Okongwu's return likely knocks Bruno Fernando from fantasy consideration, while Clint Capela may begin to face decreased minutes should Okongwu acclimate himself to the rotation quickly.
