Jerry Colangelo will not return to the Philadelphia 76ers as a special adviser when his contract expires at the end of the calendar year, a league source confirmed to ESPN.

The move, first reported by The Washington Post, is not surprising, given that Colangelo's son Bryan -- the 76ers' former president of basketball operations -- went through an embarrassing situation in May, when it was discovered his wife, Barbara, was operating "burner accounts" on Twitter on his behalf. Bryan Colangelo resigned on June 7.

"I haven't made any public comments about what transpired," Jerry Colangelo told the Post.
