No Okafor investigation

Boston police said they do not plan to investigate an apparent nightclub scuffle involving Philadelphia 76ers center Jahlil Okafor unless someone involved comes forward to say they were the victim of a crime. Officer James Kenneally said Friday that police responded to reports of a fight outside the nightclub hours after the winless Sixers lost to the Boston Celtics on Wednesday night. But Kenneally said the participants were gone by the time officers arrived and nobody was arrested or charged. TMZ posted cellphone video of the altercation on Thursday showing Okafor yelling and later shoving a man. The website reported that the confrontation started when someone taunted the 76ers player. Philadelphia has 16 losses and is the only team in the NBA without a victory. An agent for the No. 3 pick in the 2015 draft did not immediately return a message Friday seeking comment. Okafor said after a shootaround Friday that he was embarrassed about the scuffle and that it was “definitely dumb on my part.” The 76ers said they are gathering information and declined further comment.

The NBA suspended Milwaukee Bucks Coach Jason Kidd for one game without pay for his aggressive conduct toward a referee. His actions came during Wednesday night’s 129-118 home loss to Sacramento. Kidd served his suspension Friday night when the Bucks played at Orlando. Kidd was assessed a technical foul and ejected with 1:49 left in Wednesday’s game. The league on Friday cited him for “pursuing and confronting” the official, slapping the ball out of his hands and not leaving the court in a timely manner when ejected.
