Okongwu (throat) returned to Saturday's game against Brooklyn.
Okongwu took an inadvertent shot to the throat from Julius Randle early in the first quarter. He was deemed questionable to return, though he is back on the floor after getting checked out in the locker room.
Okongwu went back to the locker room after getting elbowed in the face during Saturday's game against the Nets, Lauren L. Williams of The Atlanta Journal-Constitution reports.
Okongwu took an elbow to the face on the first play of the game, and he was down on the ground for a bit before making his way back to the locker room. For now, he should be considered questionable to return.
Okongwu registered 22 points (8-12 FG, 2-3 3Pt, 4-4 FT), 10 rebounds, one assist and four steals across 33 minutes during Friday's 139-132 victory over Washington.
Okongwu recorded his fourth double-double in the past five games, providing fantasy managers with a sense of reassurance. After a slow start to the season, he is now a top-50 player in standard leagues, averaging 13.2 points, 8.6 rebounds, 1.4 three-pointers and 1.6 combined steals and blocks. While the absence of Jalen Johnson (ankle) has certainly helped boost the big man's production, the hope is Okongwu will be able to maintain his current form even when Johnson returns.
Okongwu closed Wednesday's 120-105 win over Washington with 14 points (5-9 FG, 2-5 3Pt, 2-2 FT), 16 rebounds, four assists, one block and two steals across 31 minutes.
Okongwu delivered an impressive all-around performance, collecting 13 defensive rebounds while contributing across five fantasy categories. The big man also knocked down two three-pointers, adding another dimension to his offensive production. His combination of rebounding, defensive contributions and improving perimeter range continues to make him a valuable fantasy center.
Okongwu posted six points (3-12 FG, 0-5 3Pt), 10 rebounds, one assist and one block over 28 minutes during Saturday's 121-99 loss to the Pelicans.
Okongwu didn't have a great shooting night, especially from beyond the arc. However, he was active on the boards, with five of his 10 rebounds coming on the offensive side of the floor. He's recorded at least nine rebounds in three of his last four outings, and he'll finish the month of October having averaged 11.9 points, 7.1 rebounds, 2.6 assists, 1.1 threes and 0.7 blocks over 28.3 minutes per game.
