76ers suspend centre Jahlil Okafor for 2 games after fight

The 76ers suspended Jahlil Okafor on Wednesday, hours after a second video surfaced on TMZ.com of him fighting with a heckler on a Boston street in the early hours Thursday.

The ban comes a day after the 76ers ended a 28-game losing streak over two seasons with a home victory over the Los Angeles Lakers, their first victory of the 2015-16 campaign after opening with 18 consecutive losses.

The man claims he needed 10 stitches from Okafor’s knocking him out and reportedly is threatening a lawsuit.

The hits keep coming for Jahlil Okafor.

Brown was asked if he felt betrayed by Okafor because of the repetitive nature of recent incidents involving him. “The details, the further details that came out surprise me, surprised us”, Brown said ahead of the Sixers-Knicks game.

Brown said the Sixers are working in “partnership” with the NBA, Okafor, his family and his representatives. “I am 100% focused on my responsibility to the League, my teammates and fans”, Okafor said in a series of tweets.

Not realistically, but don’t be surprised when we start to see more and more of his name mentioned OUTSIDE the lines on the court.

Philadelphia 76ers center Nerlens Noel (4) fights for a loose ball with New York Knicks forward Lou Amundson (21) during the first half at Madison Square Garden. But let’s makes sure that he’s the last young player that doesn’t have a tutor to help him out dealing with the life of an National Basketball Association player.

Philadelphia attempted 30 3-pointers and made just nine, turning more toward a perimeter game without the 17.2 points per game Okafor provides.

“It’s the latest in a flurry of bad news for the 6’11” 19-year-old star center for the Sixers, who is considered a top candidate for rookie of the year. Both situations are being investigated by Boston PD but as of right now Okafor has not been charged and the 76ers haven’t released a statement regarding the second video.

“It’s everywhere”, said Porzingis, who played professionally in Spain before arriving in NY this season. “I think we should’ve been better prepared ourselves”. “A simple guy that’s jealous of a pro athlete, and I won’t say how I really feel, but there’s jealous people all over this world, and this is just a case of it”.
