Okogie won't return to Monday's game against Memphis after suffering a nose injury, Kellan Olson of ArizonaSports.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
The severity of the injury is not yet known, but it's significant enough to hold Okogie out for the second half. He scored nine points (3-6 FG, 3-5 3Pt) and added one rebound in nine minutes of play prior to exiting. Damion Lee and Landry Shamet could be asked to shoulder more minutes in the final two quarters with Okogie unavailable.

Okogie ended Wednesday's 126-97 loss to Denver with 14 points (5-13 FG, 1-4 3Pt, 3-4 FT), nine rebounds, five assists and one steal in 34 minutes.
EDGE Analysis
Okogie got off to a hot start Wednesday, knocking down all four of his shot attempts in the first quarter before entering the break with 12 points on 5-of-6 shooting from the field. Unfortunately, that trend didn't continue into the second half, as the small forward went 0-for-7 over the final two quarters, adding seven boards, two assists and a steal. It was just Okogie's sixth time this season scoring in double figures while his five assists were the second most he's recorded in his 2022-23 campaign.
