76ers 103-91 Lakers: Troubled Jahlil Okafor Struggles In First Win Of The Season

Okafor who has recently found himself in trouble off field has also struggled onfield. Okafor has been poor as a rookie and has had 18 straight loses with the Sixers since the start of the season. Jahlil's 76ers finally won their 1st match against Kobe Byrant's Lakers but the young star had a low performance.

Jahlil Okafor struggled again despite Tuesday's 103-91 win against the Lakers. He finished with just 12 points on 6-of-14 shooting to go along with five rebounds over 30 minutes.


You would think Okafor would have been the catalyst in the Philadelphia 76ers first win of the season, but that wasn't the case. He's averaging just 12.7 points per game over his past five and has failed to reach double-digit rebounding in three of those games.

Okafor is likely just going through the ups and downs of being a rookie in the NBA, so expect him to bounce back.
