NEW YORK – The 76ers denied a Forbes article that stated co-managing partners Josh Harris and David Blitzer want "to flip” the franchise.
The magazine published an article Thursday morning about Harris and Blitzer becoming major investors in the Crystal Palace Football Team in London. Quoting a business partner of Blitzer, Forbes reported that they purchased the team as a way “to get to know the market” in London because their goal is to put an expansion NFL team there, according to the article.
"Those are inaccurate and not true," Sixers spokeman Mike Preston said.
