Okeke missed 13 consecutive games from Nov. 25-Dec. 18 because of left knee soreness before undergoing arthroscopic knee surgery (a chondroplasty — a procedure that involves shaving/smoothing damaged cartilage) on Dec. 19 that’s kept him sidelined for another 13 games. The Magic said in a statement at the time that he’ll be reevaluated in four weeks — this past Tuesday. Okeke hasn’t progressed to doing on-court work. He was seen on Wednesday, the team’s first practice since returning from the road trip, in the weight room at the team’s trailing facility while wearing a sleeve over his left leg. “Chuma’s still working his way back,” coach Jamahl Mosley said. “No real court sessions right now.” 2 weeks ago – via Khobi Price @ Orlando Sentinel Injuries, Jamahl Mosley, Uncategorized Injuries, Jamahl Mosley, Chuma Okeke, Orlando Magic
