BOSTON – Philadelphia 76ers standout rookie Jahlil Okafor reportedly got into a fight following the Sixers' 84-80 loss to Boston early Thursday morning.

No one has been arrested for the alleged incident which was caught on video and released by TMZ Sports.

The incident reportedly began after a man who was with a group of people said, “the 76ers suck!”

Okafor, who was believed to be with an unnamed teammate, reportedly took offense to the comments and began an expletive-filled rant that included him telling one of the men, “We got money you broke ass [expletive]!”



The video shows a scuffle ensuing with punches being thrown, but no injuries of significance – other than maybe a bruised ego or two – are apparent.

In the loss to Boston, Okafor led Philadelphia with 19 points to go with nine rebounds.

On Thursday afternoon, the 76ers released this statement about the incident:

"We are aware of the report and we are currently working to gather additional information. Until that time, we will have no further comment."
