Jahlil Okafor Loses Bet to 76ers Teammate Joel Embiid as Kansas Beats Duke
When Frank Mason III hit a last-second shot to give the Kansas Jayhawks a 77-75 victory over the Duke Blue Devils on Tuesday night, there may have been nobody more upset than former Duke star Jahlil Okafor.

It only got worse for Okafor. On Wednesday, he had to pay up on a friendly bet with Embiid by sporting Jayhawks gear.
Okafor has to be hoping his Blue Devils will get a chance at redemption come March.
