Troubles surrounding Jahlil Okafor

MEMPHIS – The trouble just seems to keep coming for the 76ers, and that isn’t because the team is enduring a 27-game losing streak.

Rookie center Jahlil Okafor has been surrounded by controversy this week as he was involved in an altercation outside a bar in Boston early on Thanksgiving morning. Then reports surfaced that he had been involved in an incident in October that resulted in someone pulling a gun on him. Sunday a source confirmed to the Daily News that Okafor had been pulled over for excessive speeding earlier this month on the Ben Franklin Bridge.
