Onyeka Okongwu To Return On Monday
8 months agoAtlanta Hawks forward/center Onyeka Okongwu (toe) will play on Monday against the Lakers. The 23-year-old missed over a month because of a big toe issue. However, the Hawks are glad to get him back, considering the team is holding on to the final Play-In spot in the Eastern Conference. Before going down with the injury, the 23-year-old had averaged a career-high 10.2 points with 7.0 rebounds and 1.1 blocks. While there's a chance Okongwu could see limited action in his first game back after a lengthy layoff, his presence means Bruno Fernando will have trouble getting minutes.
