Jahlil Okafor was involved in a fight outside a Boston nightclub early Thursday morning, according to a video obtained and published by TMZ.
Okafor is seen shouting at several individuals and then shoves a man to the ground.
Okafor then punches a man after at least one person tries to restrain him, knocking him to the ground again.
At the start of the video, Okafor can be heard shouting to someone, "We got money, you broke ass . . ." He utters a racial slur.

It's assault causing bodily harm backed by clear evidence for the world to see. There are going to be arguments escalating both for and against Okafor if the victim of his knockout comes forward and files charges (highly likely). Some especially for the Sixers and Okafor's legal team will argue self-defense especially with the angle of him protecting unnamed teammate. Anti-violence advocates and most of the media are going to compare this to the Ron Artest Malice in the Palace (Yes it's not the same in terms of outcome or happened inside an arena) but it's clear he hit a fan of the nba based on the comments the victim shouted before getting socked. If Adam Silver and the nba don't punish him - it'll will set a dangerous precedent where players can assault hecklers while the league acts as a another bystander.
