CBS3- The Sixers Twitter investigation is reportedly taking on a new focus, and sources say it doesn’t look good for President of Basketball Operations Bryan Colangelo.
Colangelo could soon be without a job, according to a ESPN.comreport released early Friday. Coangelo has been under investigation by his own team since Tuesday, following a lengthy report on sports website the Ringer.com that linked him to five burner Twitter accounts.
The accounts posted critical tweets about former Sixers GM Sam Hinkie, former and current Sixers players, including Joel Embiid and Markelle Fultz, and disclosed sensitive medical information about Embiid and Fultz. The accounts were also very defensive of Coangelo’s decision-making, and even his choice in dress shirts.
Colangelo has admitted to owning the one account that did not tweet anything. Sources say, he told upper management that his wife may be responsible for the accounts and tweets, but vehemently denied having any knowledge of them, until the ringer article came out.
