| Player Notes |
| November 20, 2006 Emeka Okafor rolled up 22 points, 13 rebounds and eight blocks in Monday's loss to Dallas. The block total set a team record, and tied for the high in the NBA this year. |
| November 14, 2006 Emeka Okafor had 25 points, 16 rebounds and a career-high seven blocks Tuesday night. It was his fifth double-double of the season and fourth in a row. |
| November 10, 2006 Emeka Okafor had another monster game Friday, putting up 20 points, 15 rebounds and three blocks against Seattle. Okafor just needs to stay healthy to go down as one of the major breakthrough players of the year. |
| November 7, 2006 Emeka Okafor's fast start may be related to losing 18 pounds, according to the AP. He's the top shot blocker in the league after two weeks, and he's also leading the Bobcats in rebounding. Okafor tried to bulk up prior to last season and it may have been a mistake. "He's quicker, and that's what made him," head coach Bernie Bickerstaff said Tuesday. "He was already strong, but he had quickness. He had the ability to guard (small forwards). He could guard anybody. But last year, with all the weight, he had no quickness. He was just basically an average guy." |
| November 1, 2006 Emeka Okafor had 19 points, 13 rebounds and a team record-tying six blocks for the Bobcats Wednesday night. If he can stay healthy, Okafor could rebound to the level he played at his rookie season. |
| July 4, 2006 Emeka Okafor played in a 5-on-5 scrimmage on Monday for the first time since shutting his season down with the right ankle injury, according to the Charlotte Observer. Okafor is expected to participate in a summer league. |
| March 14, 2006 Emeka Okafor, the first pick in Bobcats history and last year's rookie of the year, will miss the rest of the season due to his injured right ankle, according to the AP. The injury has led to severe tendinitis around the joint, forcing doctors to place the ankle in a soft cast on Tuesday that Okafor will wear for at least a month. Okafor originally sprained his ankle in a Dec. 19 win over Sacramento and has missed 36 games with the injury. |
| March 7, 2006 The Charlotte Observer reports that Emeka Okafor can do little more than walk on his ailing right ankle, yet he sill believes he will return to action this season. "I'm just walking on it, not cutting or running yet," he said. |
| February 13, 2006 The Charlotte Observer reports that Emeka Okafor remains on track to return from his sprained right ankle in 3-5 weeks. |
| January 30, 2006 Emeka Okafor, who has missed 19 of the last 20 games with a sprained right ankle, will be out for another five weeks, according to the AP. |
| January 13, 2006 Emeka Okafor missed his second straight game on Friday with a sprained right ankle and was wearing a protective boot, according to the AP. |
| January 12, 2006 Tests on the sprained ankle Emeka Okafor aggravated Tuesday haven't come back, but Bobs coach Bernie Bickerstaff said he presumed the forward won't return to action anytime soon, according to the Charlotte Observer. |
| January 11, 2006 Emeka Okafor missed Wednesday's game with a sprained ankle he aggravated in overtime of Tuesday's contest, according to the AP. |
| January 11, 2006 As expected, Emeka Okafor returned from his sprained right ankle last night. He came off the bench to score 21 points with eight boards in 35 minutes of action. However, he aggravated the injury in overtime and had to be carried off the court. X-rays were negative, but he'll have an MRI today. It appears he's going to be out for a while again. |
| January 10, 2006 Emeka Okafor is expected to return to action for the Bobcats tonight after missing eight games with a sprained right ankle, according to the Charlotte Observer. |
| January 7, 2006 Emeka Okafor practiced yesterday for the first time since spraining his ankle, according to the Charlotte Observer. He probably won't play today, but he might be back Tuesday. |
| January 2, 2006 Emeka Okafor won't return from his sprained ankle until at least Saturday, according to the Charlotte Observer. |
