The man who was assaulted by Jahlil Okafor says the NBA star is not telling the truth about being heckled. The unnamed victim claims Okafor only got violent after he was rejected by two women on a street in Boston.

Boston officials who are “actively investigating the incident” say the male victim filed a police report Friday morning, indicating Okafor brutally hit him in the face, causing a laceration above his eye that required stitches.
