Philadelphia 76ers investigates claims its president trolled players on Twitter

A US BASKETBALL team is investigating whether its president used anonymous Twitter accounts to slate his players and fellow executives.

Sports website The Ringer claimed that Philadelphia 76ers president Bryan Colangelo used up to five anonymous accounts to disparage Philadelphia players Joel Embiid and Markelle Fultz, former Sixers general manager Sam Hinkie, Toronto Raptors executive Masai Ujiri and former Sixers players Jahlil Okafor and Nerlens Noel.

The accounts also praised Colangelo, with one branding him a “class act.”
