Bryan Colangelo is taking a ton of heat after a report from The Ringer found a lot of evidence to suggest that the Philadelphia 76ers president of basketball operations has used using multiple burner accounts on Twitter.

Tweets from these accounts criticized 76ers players including Joel Embiid, and took shots at Colangelo’s predecessor, Sam Hinkie, among other topics.

The 76ers announced Wednesday they are investigating the alleged Twitter misuse, and Colangelo has denied using these accounts.

Here are his latest comments, per Jordan Schultz of Yahoo! Sports:

The Ringer story confirmed, via the Sixers, that one account (which has yet to tweet) belonged to Colangelo, but it’s unclear who was behind the other active accounts.

Embiid took a shot at Colangelo on Twitter shortly after the story broke Tuesday night. If Colangelo keeps his job after this, repairing his trust with the Sixers players might be his greatest challenge.
