Boston police say a man has come forward saying he's the victim in a fight involving Philadelphia 76ers center Jahlil Okafor that was recorded and posted online.
According to a statement issued Friday evening by Boston police, the man said Okafor and another man approached his group and asked some of the women for their phone numbers. When the women declined, a verbal altercation ensued, followed by a physical scuffle.
The man said Okafor pushed him and punched him, knocking him to the ground and causing a cut over his eye that later required stitches.
