HOUSTON – Jahlil Okafor said his involvement in a fight outside a Boston nightclub early Thursday was “dumb" and "embarrassing."
In a video obtained and published by TMZ.com, Okafor is seen shouting at several individuals before shoving a man to the ground. The 6-foot-11, 265-pounder then punched a man who appeared to be the same person he pushed, knocking that individual to the pavement. Okafor could be heard shouting, ‘We got money, you broke ass [expletive].”
The incident started because he and teammate Christian Wood, who was present, were being heckled by Boston fans over the Sixers struggles.
