It turns out that the 76ers had another bout with a Twitter scandal. This time, however, the team squashed it with a quick response.
On Saturday, general manager Elton Brand responded in a press release to what he deemed as "inappropriate and offensive media posts" by Bob Muscala, the father of Sixers reserve power forward, Mike Muscala.
In the joint press release, Mike Muscala apologized for his father's comments, calling them "uncalled for and inappropriate." He added they don't reflect who he is.
"I'd also like to apologize to the 76ers and my colleagues across the NBA for the distraction my father's comments caused," he wrote.
