Philadelphia 76ers rookie Jahlil Okafor took to Twitter on Sunday to say he "owns my choices" and said he "doesn't want to be a distraction for his team" going forward.
His tweets come after he was stopped by police on the Ben Franklin Bridge about three weeks ago for going 108 mph, The Philadelphia Inquirer reports. Going over 40 mph on the bridge, which spans the Delaware River and connects Philadelphia and Camden, New Jersey, is considered reckless driving, according to the report.
I hold myself to a higher standard than anyone else ever could and I'm not proud of some of my decisions over the last few months.
