Over the past few days, we saw Jahlil Okafor get into a street fight, learned that he had a gun pointed at him in October, and got word that he was speeding 108 MPH over a bridge. Combined with the fact that the Sixers are still winless, this isn't a good look.
Amidst the rising question marks surrounding his character, Okafor took to Twitter to express his disappointment over what went down during past few months.
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.
I own my choices both personally and now publicly. At this point I am cooperating and respecting the process I have to go through.
Going forward I don't want to be a distraction for my team and am grateful for the support and guidance those close to me are giving.
I am 100% focused on my responsibility to the League, my teammates and fans.
