Jahlil Okafor gets in fight on Boston street
Okafor is averaging 17.7 points and 9.6 rebounds in 33 minutes per game after the 76ers’ loss to the Celtics on Wednesday night.
Philadelphia 76ers center Jahlil Okafor was involved in a fight in the streets of Boston on Wednesday night, footage acquired by TMZ Sports reveals. In said clip, the alleged Okafor is seen yelling, “We got money… you will never have as much money as me”.
The video then cuts to Okafor knocking the man to the ground while another man holds him back, and cuts again to Okafor and others scuffling in the street while a security vehicle honks.
We’re told everyone got up and fled the scene and no arrests were made.
The incident doesn’t look good, as (the person reported to be) Okafor actively pursues the victim, despite a representative of Okafor’s telling TMZ that it was Okafor who felt threatened. The fight started after someone told Okafor, “the 76ers suck”, according to the report.
The rep says Jahlil did what he felt he needed to do to protect himself and a friend.
