Bryan Colangelo resigns as Sixers president after Twitter controversy

The 76ers’ Bryan Colangelo era, short as it was, is over.

The team’s embattled president of basketball operations resigned Thursday after a scandal involving secret Twitter accounts.

Colangelo was not at the Sixers facility Thursday, a day after sources said he was spotted at pre-draft workouts. The team’s owners are expected to be in town.

Josh Harris, a Sixers co-managing partner, said in a statement that Colangelo acknowledged his use of anonymous social media accounts had a “detrimental impact” on the team.

“We find this situation to be disappointing for our entire organization,” the statement reads.
