Philadelphia (AFP) - Jahlil Okafor was suspended for two games Wednesday by the Philadelphia 76ers after the latest video surfaced of the 19-year-old rookie center fighting outside a Boston nightclub.

The ban comes a day after the 76ers ended a 28-game losing streak over two seasons with a home victory over the Los Angeles Lakers, their first victory of the 2015-16 campaign after opening with 18 consecutive losses.
