Just when you thought things couldn’t get any worse for the Philadelphia 76ers, this happens.
Now losers of 17-straight, the Sixers were in position to claim their first victory of the season on Wenseday night against the Boston Celtics. However, a late game collapse ended in yet another loss.
That wasn’t the only defeat of the night though, as the No. 3 overall pick in the 2015 NBA Draft, Jahlil Okafor allegedly punched a Celtics fan for saying the ‘Sixers suck’.
TMZ has the story:
NBA superstar Jahlil Okafor — the #3 pick in the 2015 draft — punched a guy in the face HARD outside of a Boston bar last night … and TMZ Sports has the insane footage.
It all went down after Okafor and the 76ers lost to the Boston Celtics — Jahlil and some friends went out on the town … and ended up in an altercation in front of Storyville Boston nightclub.
19-year-old Okafor was screaming at the other man, “We got money you broke ass n**ga.”
A scuffle ensues — people tried to hold Okafor back — but then he escapes and swings wildly at another man … connecting … and sending him flying to the ground.
In the melee, Okafor tumbles to the ground and a man in a green jacket tries to punch the 6’11” superstar in the back of the head.
We’re told everyone got up and fled the scene and no arrests were made.
We’re told the altercation began because one of the men in the other group yelled at Jahlil, “The 76ers suck.”
Yikes.
