The Atlanta Hawks are dealing with a significant setback as center Onyeka Okongwu is set to be sidelined for an indefinite period due to a sprained left toe. This news comes as a surprise after initial expectations that Okongwu would only miss a week to 10 days.
Head coach Quin Snyder confirmed that Okongwu will not be available for the foreseeable future, leaving the team with front-line depth concerns. The absence of Okongwu, who has been sharing playing time with starting center Clint Capela, adds to the challenge as Capela has been out for the past six games with a left adductor strain.
