The Hawks will be going into the playoffs without the services of Thabo Sefolosha​ because of a Wednesday morning arrest that left him with a broken tibia. Well, TMZ got clearer, more graphic video of that arrest.

At least four police are seen wrestling Sefolosha to the ground even as he coolly yells, "OK relax, man." After he's clearly subdued, one officer decided to brandish and possibly hit Sefolosha with his baton. It's possible that could be the cause of a broken leg.

The police said they arrested Sefolosha and his teammate Pero Antic for failing to clear the area near the 1OAK nightclub where Pacers forward Chris Copeland was stabbed. They reported that Sefolosha was acting in an "aggressive manner," but this video shows Sefolosha essentially getting jumped by law enforcement.​
