76ers' Rubin rips judge for not allowing Meek Mill to travel to Toronto

Philadelphia rapper Meek Mill won't be allowed to join the 76ers in Toronto for Game 1 of their Eastern Conference semifinals series against the Raptors on Saturday night.

76ers co-owner Michael Rubin took to Instagram on Friday to call out judge Genece Brinkley for not granting Mill's request to attend the game.

Judge Genece Brinkley - I know you have a vendetta against Meek Mill and are obsessed with trying to control every aspect of his life, but did you really NOT approve him to go to rep the sixers in Toronto for the game? Do you also hate PHILLY? As soon as the schedule came out, Meek asked probation for approval- they immediately approved! (YES FOR EVERYONE WHO DOESN’T UNDERSTAND, MEEK MUST STILL GET THE JUDGES APPROVAL PERSONALLY EVERYTIME HE LEAVES PA SINCE HE’S STILL ON PROBATION 12 YEARS LATER FOR A CRIME HE DIDN’T COMMIT) We filed w/your court as soon as the schedule came out since you need to approve travel to Canada! Since you didn’t respond to numerous phone calls and emails we even sent a lawyer to the courthouse today!! AND MOST IMPORTANTLY IF THIS HAPPENS TO MEEK, WHAT DO YOU THINK HAPPENS TO THE AVG PERSON ON PROBATION??

Brinkley sentenced Mill to two-to-four years in a state prison in 2017 after a failed drug test and noncompliance with a court-ordered travel restriction. He was released on bail last April and immediately flown via helicopter to Wells Fargo Center for Game 5 of the Sixers' first-round series against the Miami Heat.

Mill and Rubin recently launched the Reform Alliance, an organization that lobbies for changes to probation and parole laws.
