The Philadelphia 76ers don’t believe president Bryan Colangelo had knowledge of the ‘burner Twitter accounts’ he has been linked to, according to a report from NBC Sports Philadelphia.

Philadelphia is reportedly trying to decide if it can go forward with Colangelo after sensitive team information went public through the Twitter accounts in question.

Colangelo’s alleged involvement with the fake Twitter accounts was called to attention in a report by The Ringer on May 29. Colangelo denied the allegations and said last week he felt “someone’s out to get” him.

The 76ers announced last Wednesday they were launching an investigation into the matter.
