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.

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.

Okogie (hamstring) is out for Saturday's game against the Wizards.
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 the veteran forward doesn't have a clear timetable for his return. Given that the Hornets haven't updated much about his progress, he could be considered week-to-week until further details emerge about his recovery process.

EDGE Analysis
Okogie will head back to his regular bench role due to the return of Josh Green (foot) after a one-game absence. Okogie is averaging 6.5 points, 2.9 rebounds and 0.7 assists per game when deployed off the bench -- a role he's had in all but two of his 31 regular-season appearances between Charlotte and Phoenix.

Okogie is in the starting lineup for Wednesday's game against the Nets.
EDGE Analysis

Okogie ended with 19 points (6-11 FG, 3-6 3Pt, 4-5 FT), two rebounds, two assists and four steals across 25 minutes during Monday's 112-107 loss to the Lakers.
EDGE Analysis
This was Okogie's second-best scoring effort of the season. He seems to be enjoying life with his new team, posting averages of 10.6 points, 4.0 rebounds, 1.6 assists, 3.0 steals and 1.6 three-pointers in 21.6 minutes in his last five games. Given the structure of his contract, however, he could be flipped again at the deadline -- he's owed a non-guaranteed $7.75 million in 2025-26.
