Onyeka Okongwu News: Moving to bench Thursday

Okongwu is not in the starting lineup for Thursday's game against the Spurs, Brad Rowland of the Locked On Podcast Network reports.

The Hawks will have Kristaps Porzingis back in the lineup for this matchup, so Okongwu will return to the bench. The big man has alternated between the starting lineup and the second unit, starting six of his 15 contests. Okongwu is averaging 13.4 points, 7.9 rebounds and 1.9 assists per game when deployed off the bench this season.
