Atlanta Hawks center Onyeka Okongwu (toe) will sit out Saturday's game against Charlotte. The team listed Okongwu as doubtful on the initial injury report, so he was always likely to miss the game.

Jrue Holiday Out On Saturday
Boston Celtics guard Jrue Holiday (shoulder) won't play against Chicago on Saturday. The veteran sits out a fourth consecutive game.
