Jahlil Okafor Sprained His Ankle Against North Carolina [UPDATE]

Jahlil Okafor landed on a defenders foot and turned/rolled/tweaked/twisted his ankle. It looked quite painful. Okafor went to the locker room, but returned to the bench a few minutes later. Okafor re-entered the game with less than a minute left in the half. He probably suffered a sprain, but I’ll wait for a medical professional to confirm.

[UPDATE: Okafor finished with 12 points and 13 rebounds, and Duke outlasted UNC in a classic, 92-90 in overtime. Duke trailed by nine with 2:30 left before point guard Tyus Jones (22 points) took over, scoring nine straight points to finish regulation and force overtime.]
