Not sure if this was known or not. But sounds like Okoro's dad in Nigera passed away in December. That plus all the injury issues he has had kind of explains his drop in production. tough for the oldest son to deal with all that. I can see why he might be distracted or not quite 100% focused. Anyway, feel for the guy and I hope he takes time to process everything.

Altman and Okoro have both kinda hinted that Okoro's dad passing has been weighing heavily on him and that it has been a major cause for his struggles. Just been a tough season for him overall.

Ya he looked good early on and hasn't been the same since. Hope he's able to bounce back, he's going through a lot.

Sometimes it is easy to forget these young men have lives outside basketball.

Echos of Paul White last year...He went through a lot early, his play dipped but he came back to finish the season playing much better...Hopefully Okoro can do the same.
