To be re-evaluated in two weeks The Hornets announced Monday that Okogie (hamstring) has begun individual on-court workouts and will be re-evaluated in two weeks.

Impact Okogie is progressing in his recovery from a strained left hamstring, but he'll remain on the shelf at least for another couple of weeks. Until the veteran swingman is ready to return to the lineup, Nick Smith and Josh Green should remain locked into starting roles.

Still out for Monday Okogie (hamstring) has been ruled out for Monday's game against the Warriors.

Impact Okogie's absence streak will extend to 15 games due to a strained left hamstring. His next chance to make his return to game action will come Wednesday against the Timberwolves.

Remains out Saturday Okogie (hamstring) is out for Saturday's game against the Wizards.

Impact Okogie hasn't played since logging 14 minutes off the bench in a 112-104 loss to the Clippers on Jan. 31 due to a hamstring injury, and the veteran forward doesn't have a clear timetable for his return. Given that the Hornets haven't updated much about his progress, he could be considered week-to-week until further details emerge about his recovery process.

Out at least three weeks The Hornets announced Saturday that Okogie underwent an additional evaluation that revealed a left hamstring strain and he will be re-evaluated in three weeks.

Impact Okogie had already been ruled out for Saturday's contest and is now set to miss an extended period due to his left hamstring strain. With Cody Martin (abdomen) also sidelined, Josh Green, Nick Smith and DaQuan Jeffries should receive increased playing time.

Won't play Saturday Okogie (hamstring) is out for Saturday's game versus the Nuggets.

Impact Okogie will miss Saturday's contest after suffering a left hamstring injury during Friday's game against the Clippers. With Cody Martin (abdomen) still out, Nick Smith will likely receive increased playing time. Okogie's next chance to suit up is Monday's matchup with Washington.

FEBRUARY 1, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Won't return Friday Okogie suffered left hamstring tightness during Friday's game against the Clippers, and won't return.

Impact After logging 14 minutes off the bench, Okogie headed to the locker room with left hamstring tightness, making him unable to return for the rest of the game. He racked up eight points, two rebounds, three steals and two blocks before being ruled out.

FEBRUARY 1, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Won't start Friday Okogie is not in the starting lineup for Friday's game against the Clippers.

Impact Okogie will head back to his regular bench role due to the return of Josh Green (foot) after a one-game absence. Okogie is averaging 6.5 points, 2.9 rebounds and 0.7 assists per game when deployed off the bench -- a role he's had in all but two of his 31 regular-season appearances between Charlotte and Phoenix.

JANUARY 31, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Getting start Wednesday Okogie is in the starting lineup for Wednesday's game against the Nets.

Impact The Hornets will be extremely depleted for this contest, and Okogie will start at small forward due to the absence of Josh Green (foot). Okogie is averaging 10.6 points, 4.0 rebounds and 1.6 assists per game over his last five appearances off the bench.

JANUARY 29, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Plays well with 19 points Okogie ended with 19 points (6-11 FG, 3-6 3Pt, 4-5 FT), two rebounds, two assists and four steals across 25 minutes during Monday's 112-107 loss to the Lakers.

Impact This was Okogie's second-best scoring effort of the season. He seems to be enjoying life with his new team, posting averages of 10.6 points, 4.0 rebounds, 1.6 assists, 3.0 steals and 1.6 three-pointers in 21.6 minutes in his last five games. Given the structure of his contract, however, he could be flipped again at the deadline -- he's owed a non-guaranteed $7.75 million in 2025-26.

JANUARY 28, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Posts first double-double of season Okogie recorded 16 points (3-8 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 9-12 FT), 10 rebounds, three assists and three steals across 31 minutes during Friday's 102-97 loss to Portland.

Impact With Cody Martin appearing to aggravate a groin injury, Okogie stepped up off Charlotte's bench with his first double-double of the campaign. He even fell just one point shy of the team lead in scoring. That said, the 26-year-old swingman hasn't played a steady role for the Hornets this season, so fantasy managers should take a wait-and-see approach before considering adding Okogie from waiver wires despite Friday's outburst.

Traded to Hornets Okogie has been traded along with three second-round picks from the Suns to the Hornets for Nick Richards, Shams Charania of ESPN announced.

Impact While the Suns get much needed help at center, it appears Okogie will be buried in the depth chart behind Cody Martin and Josh Green. In 25 games for the Suns, Okogie averaged 6.0 points, 2.7 rebounds, 0.6 assists, 0.8 steals and 0.4 blocks over 14.1 minutes.
