Okafor (shin) has been ruled out of Friday's matchup with the Heat, Michael Preston, the Director of 76ers PR reports.

Analysis:

Okafor will miss his third straight game due to a bruised right shin. He is joined on the bench by fellow big man Nerlens Noel (knee) so expect the 76ers to go with a smaller starting five featuring Carl Landry and Jerami Grant in the frontcourt. Okafor's next opportunity to take the court will be on Sunday when the 76ers face the Heat once more.
