76ers suspend Jahlil Okafor 2 games

The Philadelphia 76ers have suspended rookie big man Jahlil Okafor for two games, following his involvement in a physical altercation outside a Boston bar on Nov. 25.

Two separate videos surfaced in the wake of the fight, with TMZ publishing the most recent on Wednesday. The second video appears to show Okafor challenging a heckler to a fight, with Okafor throwing the first punch after the heckler followed him down the street.

The heckler was later shown unconscious on the concrete and bleeding from his temple, though the video doesn't necessarily show who injured him.

Okafor appeared to punch a separate man in the first video.

The Boston fight followed a series of other alleged incidents involving Okafor, including a reckless driving stop approximately three weeks prior in which he was reportedly clocked at 108 mph in a 45-mph zone.

The 19-year-old also allegedly had a gun pointed at him by two men in downtown Philadelphia, after he attempted to punch one of them in a parked car following a verbal disagreement outside a nightclub. He was reportedly denied service at a bar for presenting a fake ID.

The 76ers reportedly plan to have Okafor accompanied by a security guard henceforth.

"Jahlil is a very important part of our organization and our future," the team said in a statement. "While we are disappointed with his recent actions, we have faith in him as a valued member of the Sixers. We will provide the necessary resources to support him on his journey and will do our part to help him succeed both on and off the court."

Said head coach Brett Brown: "We will support him. He is ours. And we will move on."

The 6-foot-11 center is averaging 17.5 points, 8.2 rebounds, and 1.6 blocks in his maiden campaign for the 1-18 Sixers.
