Sixers' Jahlil Okafor downgraded to questionable

Jahlil Okafor was downgraded to questionable for Tuesday night's game against the Los Angeles Clippers at the Wells Fargo Center because of a sore right knee.

The 76ers center went through a "very limited" portion of a shootaround at the team's practice facility on Tuesday morning.

Okafor has been dealing with knee soreness off and on after having surgery on March 22 of last season to repair the meniscus in his right knee. The injury cost him the final 23 games of his rookie season. A CAT scan March 8 had revealed the tear.

His latest bout with soreness occurred during Saturday's loss to the Hawks in Atlanta.

The 6-foot-11, 265-pounder is averaging 11.2 points, 4.8 rebounds and 1.1 blocks. On Monday, Okafor was listed as probable for Tuesday's game. He did not participate in Monday's five-on-five, full-court portion of practice.
