Hawks' Onyeka Okongwu Questionable for Tuesday's Game with Knee Issue

Atlanta Hawks center Onyeka Okongwu is listed as questionable for Tuesday's game against the Pistons due to a knee issue. Despite an uptick in playing time, the 2020 sixth overall pick's production has remained stable, with season averages of 10.2 points, 6.8 rebounds, and 1.1 blocks. Okongwu typically serves as the backup center to Clint Capela, a role that has limited his fantasy upside, though rumors persist about Capela's future. In his second NBA season, Okongwu ranked 76th in per-game fantasy production, averaging 9.9 points, 7.2 rebounds, and 1.4 blocks in 23.1 minutes. He previously missed the start of his third season due to right shoulder surgery. The Hawks are reportedly gaining confidence in giving Okongwu more minutes, and a potential Capela trade could unlock his full potential.
