Rumors

As Kyle Neubeck of Philly Voice first reported on Tuesday, the Philadelphia 76ers have declined their fourth-year option on Jahlil Okafor, setting him up for unrestricted free agency this summer.

Kyrie Irving isn’t going to be happy this article and headline exist. He doesn’t want them to exist. He made that quite clear following the Boston Celtics’ victory over the New York Knicks.
