Share

INDIANAPOLIS -- The Sixers will be without Jahlil Okafor when they take on the Pacers Sunday night.

Okafor will miss his second straight game and third out of the last four because of right knee soreness. This will be his ninth game this season where he's sidelined by the injury.
 
Brett Brown does not have a timeframe for Okafor's return. The Sixers' next game is Tuesday against the Nets in Brooklyn.

"I am a complete prisoner to his body and medical news," Brown said after Sunday's shootaround.

In the meantime, Okafor has been going through film sessions with the Sixers' coaching staff. He did not participate in shootaround Sunday morning.

Gerald Henderson also did not go through shootaround but is available to play. The veteran, who has been dealing with hip soreness this season, played 28 minutes in Friday's win over the Bulls.

The Sixers are 1-1 against the Pacers this season. Both games went into overtime.
