- A bombshell report by Ben Detrick of The Ringer has linked Philadelphia 76ers’ president of basketball operations Bryan Colangelo to five anonymous Twitter accounts.
- The accounts were critical of 76ers players, including Joel Embiid, other NBA executives, including former 76ers GM Sam Hinkie and current Toronto Raptors president Masai Ujiri, and seemingly leaked previously unreported medical information about a player.
- The 76ers confirmed that Colangelo was behind one of the accounts but denied any knowledge of the others.
- All five of the accounts are said to have strong similarities in who they follow and language used.
- Several of the accounts reportedly had their status changed within hours of The Ringer reaching out to the team and Colangelo.
