76ers rookie Jahlil Okafor involved in fight outside Boston club

Although this situation is still fairly new, and the facts and details have not all been released, the Sixers have put out some vague information on the situation. Everyone has a tipping point, and if this happened at say, one in the morning, and started before tip off, that's over six hours of this guy being in Okafor's head about how bad he is.

The 76ers lost to the Celtics, 84-80 on Wednesday night (Thursday in Australia) as the hapless Philadelphia squad once again collapsed in the end game.

The video, which was first published .com, shows Okafor yelling, "We got money, you broke-[expletive] n--s" in response to a remark from a heckler, who reportedly yelled "The 76ers suck". "I think the guy was just talking (expletive), saying the Sixers (stink)".

"It was definitely dumb on my part", Okafor said following the team's shootaround Friday in Houston. He then punched a man who appeared to be the same person he had pushed, knocking that individual to the pavement. It's something that I am embarrassed about.

Boston police said they are investigating the allegations.

The Philadelphia 76ers rookie and 3 overall pick in the draft, Jahlil Okafor was involved in an altercation in Boston.

"According to the victim, when his female companions refused their advances, a verbal altercation ensued between him and the suspect", Boston police said in the statement.

Despite his team's struggles, the big man from Duke has posted good numbers, posting per game averages of 18.4 points, 8.1 rebounds and 1.8 blocks.

Going 0-16 to start off your National Basketball Association career could be a little disheartening, and no doubt, it could also be very, very frustrating.

The Sixers don't have a curfew but the team asks players to make responsible decisions, Brown said. We're going through the whole process of what were going to do.

According to the Philadelphia Inquirer, Philadelphia 76ers' rookie Jahlil Okafor is no stranger to altercations off the court.

The Sixers issued a statement that read, "We are aware that there is an ongoing investigation regarding the alleged incident and are unable to comment further".
