Logs 41 minutes in start
Okani notched six points (3-10 FG, 0-4 3Pt), seven rebounds, one assist, two blocks and one steal in 41 minutes during Sunday's 132-101 loss to Houston.
Impact
Okani was picked up on a 10-day contract to close out the regular season for the injury depleted Grizzlies. He made six total appearances, averaging 10.0 points, 3.5 rebounds and 1.0 assists in 36.2 minutes per contest. He'll enter the offseason as a free agent.

Clint Capela has 23 as Rockets rest stars in 132-101 rout of Grizzlies

Logd 20 points in blowout
Okani logged 20 points (9-22 FG, 2-8 3Pt), two rebounds and two assists in 42 minutes during Friday's 147-101 loss to the Jazz.
Impact
Okani was part of a slim six-player rotation during the rout. He had his work cut out for him against Utah, which held a significant height advantage over the depleted frontcourt. The undrafted rookie out of West Virginia has spent most of his first NBA season with the G League, and his future with the parent club depends heavily on the organization's offseason plans. Part of the plan will include paying a high first-round pick, and if they draft someone with a skill set similar to Okani's, he could be back in the G League once again.

Sees 41 minutes in start
Okani accumulated nine points (4-12 FG, 1-4 3Pt, 0-2 FT), three rebounds and one steal in 41 minutes during Sunday's 131-115 loss to the Bucks.
Impact
Okani, who was signed to a 10-day contract Thursday, made his first career start against the Bucks and saw a massive workload for the injury-depleted Grizzlies. With the team evaluating several fringe rotation players, Okani could see a ton of reps to close out the regular season if Sunday was any indication.
