Sixers suspend Okafor for two games

NEW YORK -- The 76ers have suspended rookie center Jahlil Okafor for two games, effective immediately.

This move comes over after a video was obtained and published of Okafor getting into a second fight with a heckler on a Boston street in the early hours Thursday.

The 6-foot-11, 265-pounder will miss Wednesday night’s matchup against the New York Knicks at Madison Square Garden and Saturday’s game against Denver at Wells Fargo Center

In the second video, Okafor then trades insults with the second heckler, saying, ‘We got money … you broke-ass [expletive] ... Money’ while his friends attempt to hold him back and direct him away from the hecklers.
