Won't return Saturday Okoro is out for the remainder of Saturday's game versus VCU due to an ankle injury, Stu Durando of the St. Louis Post-Dispatch reports.

Impact Okoro left Saturday's game in the first half and was seen on crutches. If Saint Louis beats VCU, the senior big man's next chance to suit up will come in the Atlantic 10 Tournament final. However, Okoro's status for March Madness is now in doubt.

Double-double vs. GW Okoro racked up 22 points (9-14 FG, 4-4 FT), 11 rebounds, one assist and one steal over 24 minutes during Wednesday's 80-67 win over George Washington.

Impact The Colonials had no match for Okoro, who was incredibly efficient here. He's moved into the starting lineup over the seven games, averaging a usable 11.3 points, 9.1 rebounds and 1.3 blocks across 25.3 minutes, though there's been plenty of peaks and valleys. Okoro faced UMass in consecutive outings prior to this, going for 16 points and seven boards, followed by one point and six boards. He's a fine depth piece in A-10 heavy formats, but there isn't a clear rhyme or reason to his production spikes.

Starting Sunday Okoro is in the starting lineup for Sunday's game against Richmond, Stu Durando of the St. Louis Post-Dispatch reports.

Impact Okoro will be making his first start of the season with Marten Linssen sidelined due to an ankle injury. The 6-9 junior was playing at a very high level to end the year, as he averaged 15.5 points and seven rebounds in the final two games of 2021.

Limited to five minutes Okoro played only five minutes during Tuesday's 64-59 loss to Belmont since he wasn't feeling well, Stu Durando of the St. Louis Post-Dispatch reports.

Impact Okoro had played at least 15 minutes off the bench in each of the first nine games of the season, but the ailment limited his availability Tuesday. Lassina Traore saw increased run as the Billikins' reserve center in his absence. It remains to be seen whether Okoro will be 100 percent for Saturday's game against Boston College.
