Boston police say they do not plan to investigate the fight involving Philadelphia 76ers center Jahlil Okafor until the victim comes forward saying he was assaulted according to ESPN.com.
Officer James Kenneally said Friday that police responded to reports of a fight outside a Boston nightclub hours after the winless Sixers lost to the Boston Celtics on Wednesday night. But Kenneally says the participants were gone by the time officers arrived and nobody was arrested or charged.
TMZ released video Thursday that showed a man looking like Okafor punching a man.
“Apparently, they said: ‘The 76ers suck and you guys are all losers. You’ll never win a game,’ ” a source close to Okafor told ESPN’s Jeff Goodman.
“I was around the corner when it happened. I saw him a minute after he knocked the dude out,” the source said. “I think the guy was just talking s—. Saying the Sixers suck.”
Jahlil has to do better with ignoring negativity.
