Jahlil Okafor and the Philadelphia 76ers are trying to move on from his ugly incident in Boston last week, but that's going to be difficult. On Wednesday TMZ published new video footage from the night, which is reportedly from a few minutes after the first fight and appears to show Okafor yelling and throwing punches at a man. This is NSFW because of language:
A witness told TMZ that Okafor threw the punch that knocked out the man at the end of the video, but that is not clear in the footage. Boston police initially said there were no plans to investigate the incident, but after a man filed a police report on Friday, that changed. It is unclear whether that man is the one who is seen in this video.
According to TMZ, Boston police department officials said there will likely be charges filed against Okafor. The 19-year-old rookie has apologized for his actions and said he does not want to be a distraction to his team, which earned its first victory of the season on Tuesday against the Los Angeles Lakers.
Neither the Sixers nor the NBA has suspended Okafor. There is no word yet on whether this footage will change that.
