The Philadelphia 76ers reportedly are set to trade beleaguered center Jahlil Okafor to the Brooklyn Nets.
Okafor, the No. 3 pick of the 2015 draft, was dropped from the rotation this year and has played in only two games. The Sixers would also send guard Nik Stauskas and a 2019 second-round draft pick to the Nets for forward Trevor Booker.
Okafor has been considered a bust and he asked for a contract buyout once the Sixers declined to pick up his option.
L.A. Lakers 107, Philadelphia 104: Brandon Ingram scored 21 points to lift the Lakers over the host Sixers.
Ajinca injured: Pelicans reserve center Alexis Ajinca has had surgery on his right knee and his recovery is expected to take four to six months, virtually ending his chances of playing this season.
