Onyeka Okongwu News: Returning to bench role

Okongwu will come off the bench Tuesday against the Wizards, Brad Rowland of the Locked On Podcast Network reports.

Okongwu stepped into the starting lineup Sunday given the absence of Kristaps Porzingis, but the USC product will operate as a reserve Tuesday night. Okongwu has scored in double figures in each of his last three appearances off the bench.
