76ers launch independent investigation into Bryan Colangelo’s Twitter account(s)

76ers president Bryan Colangelo allegedly ran five burner Twitter accounts – using some to sharply attack Joel Embiid, Markelle Fultz, Sam Hinkie, Masai Ujiri, Jahlil Okafor, Nerlens Noel and others.

These allegations are serious. If Colangelo ran these accounts, he violated so much trust that he’d almost certainly be fired.

Just a hunch: Colangelo either knows who ran the accounts (including the possibility he did himself) or can point investigators in the right direction. There is so much specific Colangelo-adjacent content in the tweets.

While the 76ers are taking this seriously, as they should, the rest of can stick with the jokes:
