Report: 76ers' investigation into Colangelo scandal could be done Friday

An internal investigation into recent allegations that Bryan Colangelo has been operating multiple Twitter burner accounts is expected to be completed within the next few days and as early as Friday, league sources told Philly.com's Keith Pompey.

Those same sources also expect Colangelo to lose his positions as both general manager and president of basketball operations of the Philadelphia 76ers.

A timetable was reportedly put in place to avoid taking attention away from the NBA Finals between the Golden State Warriors and Cleveland Cavaliers, with the league worrying the scandal would serve as a distraction from the series.

A report by The Ringer's Ben Detrick discovered five Twitter accounts that may have been used by Colangelo to spread private information and criticize players, executives, and media personnel. He has owned up to using one of the handles, but not the other four.

"The only way that he'll get out of it is if he comes with evidence that somebody set him up," an anonymous league executive told Pompey. "If it is out there where they can't prove either way, I don’t think he'll keep his job. And if there's involvement with a family member, it doesn't look like he has a chance either."

The 76ers organization released an official statement on Wednesday, describing the allegations against Colangelo as "serious," and that its results will be reported as soon as the investigation is complete.
