Report: 76ers' Okafor stopped for driving 108 mph
Trouble has found Philadelphia 76ers rookie Jahlil Okafor once again.
The 19-year-old big man was pulled over for driving 108 mph, according to the Philadelphia Inquirer's Keith Pompey.
Traveling over 40 mph is considered reckless driving.
The incident occurred on the Ben Franklin Bridge about three weeks ago, Pompey adds.
This isn't the first transgression for the 6-foot-11 Duke alumnus; a video showing Okafor shoving and punching a man outside a Boston bar surfaced Thursday.

Additionally, the No. 3 pick in June's draft allegedly had a gun pulled on him during a separate fracas back in October.
This latest piece of less-than-ideal news comes at a time when Okafor's 76ers are in the midst of one of the least enviable losing streaks in U.S. pro sports history.
The Sixers may have a 0-17 record, but it seems they have bigger problems to deal with at the moment.
