A report surrounding Philadelphia 76ers president of basketball operations Bryan Colangelo surfaced, where he was exposed for having multiple Twitter accounts. These burners were used to take shots at players like Joel Embiid, Markelle Fultz, Nerlens Noel and Jahlil Okafor, as well as Toronto Raptors president Masai Ujiri and former Sixers GM Sam Hinkie. Not only that, but these anonymous Twitter accounts would praise Colangelo and back him on multiple occasions.
The organization has now launched an independent investigation to figure out whether these Twitter accounts belong to Colangelo and support previous reports that said he had up to five burner profiles on the social media platform.
Bryan has admitted to having one account.
According to The Ringer, they were tipped of these alleged accounts back in February and began investigating since. The accounts followed people in Colangelo’s personal life and since being discovered (and mentioned to the 76ers as part of the investigation), three accounts went from public to private.
Who snitched on Bryan? What information will the franchise uncover?
