Philadelphia 76ers GM Elton Brand and forward/center Mike Muscala released statements apologizing for offensive tweets made by Muscala’s father, Bob Muscala.
In the press release, Mike Muscala condemns his father’s actions:
First and foremost, I want to apologize for my father’s offensive social media commentary. His comments were uncalled for and inappropriate, and they do not reflect who I am.
I’d also like to apologize to the 76ers and my colleagues across the NBA for the distraction my father’s comments caused.
I really appreciate the professionalism and support shown by Elton, Coach Brown, my teammates and the entire 76ers organization.
