Okogie was with the team last night in Chicago but did not play. He is expected to be available for Monday afternoon's home contest against the Dallas Mavericks."We think that he embodies a lot of what Hornets DNA is, and he was so excited to even just get here and get some work in yesterday. He’s already started on the court and the coaches got to work with him. We see the passion for the game, the love for the game, and his curiosity and just excitement to get started with our group.
"I think he's a jack of all trades, and we're super excited about everything he's going to bring to our group."Okogie has appeared in 401 games over the course of his seven-year NBA career, spending time with the Minnesota Timberwolves and Phoenix Suns. For his career, the former first-round draft pick is averaging 6.3 points, three rebounds, and 1.1 assists per game.
