Given the slew of off-court issues that have reached dangerous levels for Philadelphia 76ers center Jahlil Okafor, the team has designated a security guard for the star rookie, according to Chris Broussard of ESPN.com.
The move to protect their investment—the team selected Okafor with the third overall pick in the 2015 NBA draft—comes just days after the 19-year-old was involved in a brawl outside a Boston nightclub.
It was the second such incident Okafor has been linked to, as the former Duke Blue Devils star also had a gun pulled on him in an exchange outside a club in Philadelphia in October, according to John Gonzalez of CSNPhilly.
