Charlotte Hornets guard/forward Josh Okogie (hamstring) will be re-evaluated in three weeks. He will miss a second straight game on Monday against the Charlotte Hornets. Since arriving from Phoenix, Okogie has played well with his new squad, averaging 10.0 points, 3.4 rebounds, and a whopping 2.7 steals in 21.3 minutes. Players like DaQuan Jeffries, KJ Simpson, and Nick Smith Jr. have a chance to feature more in the rotation with Okogie out. However, they are inconsistent performers, which makes them risky picks for fantasy managers.
Hornets Acquire Josh Okogie In A Trade With Phoenix
The Hornets acquired forward Josh Okogie from the Suns on Wednesday night. In exchange, Phoenix will receive center Nick Richards. Okogie has averaged only 6.0 points and 2.9 rebounds this season. But he'll at least bring his defensive prowess with him to a Hornets squad that has allowed 112.4 points per game during the 2024-25 campaign. With that in mind, unless there is an injury in the starting lineup, Okogie likely won't have much value for fantasy managers.
Josh Okogie Remains Sidelined With Hamstring Strain
Phoenix Suns guard Josh Okogie (hamstring) will be out again on Monday as he continues to deal with a right hamstring strain. He was seen getting some work in after the team finished with shootaround and was moving pretty well, but not at game speed just yet. When he's able to suit up, he'll likely slot back into a depth role and may take some minutes away from rookie Ryan Dunn or Monte Morris. There still isn't a firm timetable for his return though.
Phoenix Suns forward Josh Okogie agreed to a two-year, $16 million deal to remain with the team. The 2018 No. 20 overall pick didn't do much in his 60 appearances with the Suns last season. But he at least averaged 7.2 points and 3.7 rebounds in 11 starts. With that in mind, Okogie will likely mirror his numbers from the 2023-24 campaign this season, meaning he won't draw interest from fantasy managers in any format.
The Phoenix Suns remain interested in bringing back guard/forward Josh Okogie. The 25-year-old has spent the past two seasons in Arizona but became a free agent after not picking up a $2.9 million option on his contract. Okogie averaged 4.6 points and 2.6 rebounds in 16.0 minutes last season, logging 11 starts across 60 appearances. His numbers will likely be in a similar mold next season if he returns to Phoenix, which appears likely, as Okogie hasn't really been linked with any other teams since hitting free agency.
Phoenix Suns guard/forward Josh Okogie (abdomen) will rejoin the action on Saturday against San Antonio. He last played on March 2, missing several weeks with a lower abdominal strain. Okogie's return is good news for the Suns, as it gives the team a versatile player to use in the rotation. However, he's been a non-factor in fantasy hoops due to his inability to hit shots all year. The 25-year-old has nailed only 29.7 percent of his three-pointers, averaging 4.9 points and 2.7 rebounds in 17.1 minutes.
Phoenix Suns guard/forward Josh Okogie (abdomen) will miss a sixth straight game on Thursday versus Boston. The versatile wingman continues to nurse a lower abdominal strain. Phoenix likely gets Nassir Little (knee) back on Thursday, but with Eric Gordon (knee) questionable for the game, the bench could still be short of quality. Boston gives up the eighth-most shot attempts to opposing benches, so this is a promising matchup for Phoenix's second unit.
Phoenix Suns guard/forward Josh Okogie (abdomen) will be absent for a fifth consecutive game on Monday versus Cleveland. He's trying to overcome an abdominal strain. With Eric Gordon (knee) joining Okogie on the shelf, the starters will likely be in for a busy night on Monday, and Royce O'Neale could still have a major part to play in the rotation, despite getting demoted back to the bench due to Devin Booker's (ankle) likely return. This will be a favorable matchup for the Suns against an injury-hit team.
Phoenix Suns guard Josh Okogie (abdominal) has been ruled out ahead of Thursday's game against the Toronto Raptors. Okogie has missed their last two games and appears to be in line to sit out at least one more. Head coach Frank Vogel hinted that Okogie hasn't made much progress over the last few days. His absence should mean more playing time for Eric Gordon and Saben Lee off the bench. Between the two, Gordon is the better streaming option due to his ability from beyond the arc.
Phoenix Suns guard/forward Josh Okogie (abdomen) will miss a second consecutive game on Tuesday versus Denver. He's battling a lower abdominal strain. Okogie kicked off the campaign as a starter in Phoenix, but he's been now nailed to a bench for over two months, and the 25-year-old offers very little in fantasy basketball as a member of the second unit. Eric Gordon will lead the bench mob in Tuesday's very challenging matchup against the reigning champions, with Saben Lee getting some extra opportunities off the pine without Okogie and Devin Booker (ankle).
