NBA: Jahlil Okafor Caught Over Reckless Driving

Jahlil Okafor seems to be facing several problems at the same time. Reports have revealed that the basketball star was arrested early this month for reckless driving. Okafor was recently accused of a street fight some days ago but the Igbo Nigerian has come out to appologise.

Philadelphia 76ers rookie Jahlil Okafor is currently being investigated for allegedly assaulting a man in Boston late on Wednesday night. This was not Okafor's first run-in with the law. In October, a gun was pointed at the Sixers rookie outside of a Philadelphia night club. According to the Philadelphia Inquirer's Keith Pompey, Okafor had a third incident involving police in early November.

From Pompey reports four sources independently confirmed to the The Inquirer the 76ers center was pulled over on the Ben Franklin Bridge around three weeks ago for 108 miles-per-hour. Anything over 40MPH is considered reckless driving.



Pompey does not report if Okafor was given a ticket or had any other form of punishment.

So far the NBA and the Sixers have yet to discipline the rookie for his actions even though Okafor has admitted to being involved in a fight the night before Thanksgiving.

The Sixers play against the Memphis Grizzlies on Sunday, a game that Okafor is currently scheduled to play in.
