Philadelphia 76ers rookie star Jahlil Ohafor has been suspended after video of a second fight during his violent night on Boston streets has emerged.
The 6’11” rookie center had a wild night on Thanksgiving after his team lost to the Boston Celtics in TD Garden. Video emerged of Okafor in a fight, punching a man and shoving him down outside the Storyville Night club on Exeter Street at about 2 a.m. The victim told police two black men approach his group of friends, and tried to get the phone numbers of some women in the group.
“According to the victim, when his female companions refused their advances, a verbal altercation ensued between him and the suspect,” the police report reads. “During the argument, the male victim states that Okafor attempted to charge him but was momentarily restrained by another individual.”

While Okafor apologized and expressed embarrassment for the fight, he failed to mention the second fight he got into later that night. Another video has come out of Okafor involved in a second scuffle on Boston streets, during which he reportedly punched out another man. The video seems to show Okafor throwing punches at the man.
The Philadelphia 76ers announced Wednesday the team has suspended the troubled star for two games after the second Thanksgiving fight came to light. It is just the latest in a series of troubles for the 19-year-old player. In previous incidents, Okafor was pulled over for allegedly driving 108 mph in a 40 mph zone on a bridge, and was involved in a scuffle during which a gun was drawn, nbcsports.com reports.
