Wizards' Felix Okpara: Sniffs double-double in SL win
Rotowire
Okpara posted 12 points (6-13 FG, 0-1 3Pt), eight rebounds, two assists and one block across 27 minutes in Saturday's 91-83 Summer League win over the Hawks.
Okpara sat out Wednesday's loss to the Clippers but returned to action for the Wizards' Summer League finale. The rookie big man scored in double figures for the first time in Summer League play, finishing as Washington's fourth-leading scorer. He also led the squad in rebounds. Okpara is signed to a two-way contract and will likely see most of his playing time with the G League's Capital City Go-Go in 2026-27.

Wizards' Felix Okpara: Won't suit up Wednesday
Rotowire
Okpara (not injury related) has been ruled out for Wednesday's Summer League game against the Clippers, Josh Robbins of The Athletic reports.
Okpara is healthy, though he'll be held out Wednesday as the Wizards provide other players on the roster with opportunities. The remainder of Washington's Summer League schedule has yet to be finalized, though the club is expected to play its next game Saturday against an opponent yet to be announced.

Wizards' Felix Okpara: Heading to Washington after trade
Rotowire
The Magic selected Okpara with the No. 46 overall pick in the 2026 NBA Draft and traded his rights to the Wizards, Jeff Goodman of Fieldof68.com reports.
In exchange, the Magic received the No. 51 and No. 60 picks, the latter of which they traded to the Bucks for cash. Okpara spent his early college years at Ohio State before transferring to Tennessee. He most recently logged 35 regular-season games for the Volunteers, averaging 8.0 points, 6.3 rebounds, 0.5 assists, 1.5 blocks and 0.4 steals across 26.9 minutes per contest. The Wizards have Anthony Davis (finger) and Alex Sarr (foot) on the roster, meaning Okpara will presumably come off the bench. However, with Davis and Sarr having trouble staying healthy over the years, there's a chance Okpara could start some games for the Wizards during the 2026-27 campaign.
