Philadelphia 76ers young star Jahlil Okafor has gotten himself into some hot water recently. It was originally reported he was involved in a Thanksgiving eve brawl after the Sixers lost in Boston to the Celtics but apparently there was more than one fight.
Some past transgressions against Okafor have been released recently and despite Okafor feeling remorse about the situation, the Sixers had to do something. Philadelphia has suspended Okafor for two games following his recent off-court incidents.
