Silver irked that 76ers' probe of Bryan Colangelo casting shadow on Finals

OAKLAND, Calif. - NBA Commissioner Adam Silver said Thursday he's been in touch with the Philadelphia 76ers regarding the team's investigation of team executive Bryan Colangelo's social media activity.

"The notion here was let's find out what's going on," Silver said. "You have to separate sort of the chatter and sort of what either fans or, frankly, the media are saying from the facts. And the first thing we have to do here is determine what the actual facts are in this circumstance."

The Ringer published a story earlier this week that linked Colangelo to anonymous Twitter accounts that may have leaked sensitive information on 76ers players' health and trade activity.
