Boston police probing Okafor altercation

But someone did come forward later Friday. When the women declined, a verbal altercation ensued, followed by a physical scuffle.

If that’s the case, the Okafor really needs to have some security or do what Skip Bayless always says.

Following Friday morning’s shootaround, Okafor addressed the media and called the altercation “definitely dumb on my part and something I’m embarrassed about”.

“The embarrassment of what I did because that’s not who I am”, Okafor added. It’s bad enough when Okafor’s 0-16 team confines those adjectives to its exploits on a basketball court, but much worse when they spill over into real life.

Officer James Kenneally said police responded to reports of a fight outside the nightclub on Wednesday but no one was there by the time officers arrived.

TMZ published a video of the incident Thursday in which Okafor is seen shouting before pushing one man and punching another. As first reported by CSNPhilly.com, Okafor had a gun pulled on him while outside of a Philadelphia club. The skirmish broke up and no arrests were made, but Okafor could face a suspension from the National Basketball Association.

An NBA spokesperson said the league was also looking into the matter, according to ESPN. You already heard about him getting into a street fight over someone yelling the facts, “The 76ers suck”. “You’ll never win a game, ‘” the source said. “I was around the corner when it happened”. Moments later, he punches possibly the same man and knocks him down.

The Sixers released a brief statement acknowledging the report.

The Sixers have lost 27 straight games dating to last season for the longest losing streak in major USA professional sports history, passing the NFL’s Tampa Bay Buccaneers from 1976 to 1977. This news comes two days after the Okafor was involved in an altercation outside of a Boston nightclub following the Sixers’ 84-80 loss to the Celtics, which he discussed Friday for the first time.
