Thursday, Jun. 7, 2018 was the day. The day the Philadelphia 76ers finally cut ties with Bryan Colangelo, whose connection to alleged burner accounts was too much to overlook.
From leaking sensitive information to criticizing Joel Embiid, the accounts left Colangelo’s reputation in shambles. While he was not directly in charge of establishing the accounts, his opinion and reckless handling of information likely contributed to some of the statements made.
Despite reports that the team considered keeping him on board, there was no good way forward with Colangelo at the helm.
