New Orleans had exhausted its two 10-day contracts with Okafor, who had not played in the NBA since the 2012-13 season due to a chronic back injury. "It was essentially a four-year process," Okafor told [URL='http://www.nola.com/pelicans/index.ssf/2018/02/how_emeka_okafor_revived_his_n.html']William Guillory[/URL] of the Times-Picayune. "I just took my time making sure, not only the initial injury [was healed], but to recondition and rehab everything. ... [I] figured while I'm waiting for my disc to heal, I can take the time to heal other things. When I come back, [I can] feel nice and bouncy and rejuvenated." *** The Pelicans have outscored opponents by 9.3 points per 100 possessions with Okafor on the floor, per [URL='https://www.basketball-reference.com/players/o/okafoem01/on-off/2018']Basketball Reference[/URL], and he hasn't been a glaring minus on offense. It only makes sense for them to keep riding this good wave for the remainder of the season. [/I][/I] What a cool story. He's been out of the league for 5 years! I have to say, I kept Googling him over the years to see what his status was. I never gave up hope that he'd come back, since he kept saying he planned to return. [/QUOTE]
