Emeka Okafor gets spot on 76ers’ training camp roster

The Emeka Okafor comeback process will continue.

The Philadelphia 76ers on Friday announced their training camp roster, which included Okafor’s name:

Okafor played in 27 games last season for the New Orleans Pelicans, averaging 4.4 points and 4.6 rebounds in 13.5 minutes per game. He had gone four seasons without playing in the NBA due to a neck injury, but he was cleared to return last year.

The former UConn standout initially signed with the Sixers’ G League team when he began his comeback last year, so rejoining the team for their training camp makes sense.
