Sources: Sixers Okafor not on team plane to Charlotte

76ers center Jahlil Okafor wasn't on Sunday's team flight to Charlotte for Monday night's game against the Hornets at the Spectrum Center, according to sources.

The Sixers have been in contact with the New Orleans Pelicans, the Denver Nuggets, and Chicago Bulls in regards to Okafor. There was a report that the Portland Trail Blazers were also a possible trade partner.

The Sixers trade talks were stalled with the Nuggets.

The earliest the Sixers can make a trade is Monday.

He did not play in Saturday night's victory over the Miami at Wells Fargo Center. Teams usually don't play trade targets when a deal is about to happen for fear of that player getting injured.
