Felix Okpara (illness) upgraded to available

Okpara’s availability does not affect fantasy basketball or the Wizards’ rotation, as Anthony Davis, Alex Sarr and Deandre Ayton are all available to play.

Selected with the 46th overall pick in last month’s draft, Okpara will be on a two-way contract with the Wizards next season. With AJ Dybantsa, Will Riley and Tre Johnson all shut down for the rest of summer league, players like Okpara will have more opportunities on offense. While the Wizards have given two-way and G League players opportunities in the past, that may not happen as often next season as the team moves past its rebuild. Okpara is worth considering in deep dynasty leagues, but that’s it.

The rookie out of Tennessee logged 20 minutes in his first summer league outing. He didn’t contribute much in the box score, but he was effective on the offensive glass. Okpara should continue to get more opportunities as summer league progresses.

Okpara played two seasons at Tennessee after playing the first two seasons of his college career at Ohio State. As a senior, the 6-foot-10 post player averaged 8.0 points, 6.3 rebounds and 1.5 blocks per game while shooting 59.7 percent from the field and 63.5 percent from the foul line. An athletic defender, Okpara is most effective as a rim protector, while the offensive skill set requires some polish. The Wizards traded picks 51 and 60 to add Okpara. With Alex Sarr and Anthony Davis there, Okpara will likely compete with Tristan Vukcevic for backup minutes down low. However, Trae Young is one of the best lob passers in the league, which could work well for Okpara.
