Okafor (ankle) is listed as doubtful to play Tuesday against the Warriors. The right ankle injury looks like it will keep Okafor out for the second game in a row after he was injured in Saturday's contest. If he's held out, the 25-year-old will have a few days to try to get healthy before the team's next game on Friday against Boston.

Okafor (ankle) will not play in Monday's game against the Hawks, James Edwards of The Athletic reports. A sprained right ankle will keep Okafor out of action, which is not a major surprise considering he missed practice Sunday. With Okafor and Blake Griffin (rest) both out, coach Dwane Casey said he'll employ a center-by-committee with Mason Plumlee, rookie Isaiah Stewart and perhaps even Sekou Doumbouya (foot) seeing minutes at the five.

Okafor (ankle) will not play in Monday's matchup with the Hawks, Omari Sankofa II of the Detroit Free Press reports. Okafor injured his ankle in Saturday's loss to the Cavaliers and subsequently missed Sunday's practice. It looks the Pistons will opt to err on the side of caution and attempt to avoid a lingering issue. His next opportunity to suit up will come Tuesday against the Warriors.

Worst game for Pistons centers this season. Everyone has been uniformly awful save for like 2 Okafor minutes.
