Apparently a sore right knee injury has hampered his ability to get in the kind of shape the coaching staff wants.
"The hope all along for coach Brett Brown was to have the third overall pick in good enough shape to be ready for the season-opener on Oct. 28 in Boston. Recently, Brown said he’d like to have Okafor playing about 32 minutes a game. But a sore right knee has sidelined him for close to a week, thus putting him behind as far as on-court fitness is concerned and definitely delaying the 32-minute runs his coach was hoping for."
Praying the big fella gets well and has a productive season. Not sure if the link I provided works
