Okogie is out for Friday's game against the Raptors due to management of a left hamstring injury.
EDGE Analysis
Okogie saw action for the first time since Jan. 31 in the Hornets' 111-104 loss to the Magic on Tuesday, and the team is being overly cautious with the veteran and his recovery process. As such, Okogie won't be available for this contest, but his next chance to feature will come against the Pelicans on Sunday. Nick Smith and Tidjane Salaun could see more minutes off the bench with Okogie sidelined.

Okogie (hamstring) logged three points (0-2 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 3-4 FT), one rebound, one assist and one steal across 16 minutes Tuesday in the Hornets' 111-104 loss to the Magic.
EDGE Analysis
Okogie saw action for the first time since Jan. 31, after a left hamstring strain had kept him out for nearly two months. Head coach Charles Lee expanded the rotation to 11 men to make room for Okogie, whose return cut into the playing time of Seth Curry (six minutes). Neither Okogie nor Curry will necessarily be locked into rotation spots for every game the rest of the way, as the Hornets could elect to prioritize younger options on the wing such as Nick Smith, Josh Green, Damion Baugh, Wendell Moore and Tidjane Salaun as the season winds down.

Okogie (hamstring) is available for Tuesday's game against the Magic.
EDGE Analysis
It'll be Okogie's first appearance since Jan. 31 after nursing a hamstring strain. Therefore, he figures to be eased back into action initially. The veteran swingman's return will likely eat into the minutes of DaQuan Jeffries and Tidjane Salaun. Before going down, Okogie had averaged 10.0 points, 3.4 rebounds and 2.7 steals in 21.2 minutes over his most recent seven outings.

Okogie (hamstring) is listed as questionable for Tuesday's game against the Magic.
EDGE Analysis
Okogie continues to rehab from a left hamstring strain that has kept him out of action since Jan. 31. His questionable tag for Tuesday's game indicates that he's progressing in his recovery, and he'll likely operate under a minutes restriction upon his return. Okogie averaged 10.0 points, 3.4 rebounds, 1.4 assists, 2.7 steals and 0.7 blocks over 21.1 minutes per game in the seven outings prior to his hamstring injury.

The Hornets have recalled Okogie (hamstring) on Tuesday after a short stint with the G League's Greensboro Swarm.
EDGE Analysis
Okogie continues to nurse a left hamstring strain, which will keep him sidelined for Tuesday's game against the Hawks. The 25-year-old forward has missed 22 straight games. However, he appears to be trending toward a return to the floor for Charlotte sooner rather than later.

Charlotte assigned Okogie to the G League's Greensboro Swarm on Tuesday.
EDGE Analysis
Okogie hasn't played since logging 14 minutes off the bench in a 112-104 loss to the Clippers on Jan. 31 due to a hamstring injury, and this assignment is the next stage of his rehab. He will practice in the G League on Tuesday and is likely to be recalled shortly after, at which point another update could be provided on his progress.

The Hornets announced Monday that Okogie (hamstring) has begun individual on-court workouts and will be re-evaluated in two weeks.
EDGE Analysis
Okogie is progressing in his recovery from a strained left hamstring, but he'll remain on the shelf at least for another couple of weeks. Until the veteran swingman is ready to return to the lineup, Nick Smith and Josh Green should remain locked into starting roles.
