Kendall Marshall's father, Dennis Marshall, wrote on Twitter that white players are getting more chances on the Philadelphia 76ers.

Marshall's playing time has been significantly reduced.

"I always said there was racism in sports," Marshall tweeted on a Twitter account that has since been deleted.

Dennis Marshall went on to say, using an expletive, that white players are getting more chances even when they aren't playing well. He also took a not-so-veiled shot at struggling Nik Stauskas and his firm spot in the rotation.

"How are you a 'shooter' and shooting 27 percent from three?" Marshall tweeted. "Can't guard but play a lot. What do you think the reason is?"

"That's not coming out of my mouth. That's not my social media," he said. "He's a grown man. It was obviously the wrong time and place to say it, but he said it. He's apologized for it since."

Dennis Marshall later apologized on Twitter.

"I am ashamed and embarrassed by my actions. I have sent a letter of apology to the Sixers," he wrote.

That was good enough for his son.

"Me and him, we go at it sometimes," Kendall Marshall said. "He knows he was wrong. He apologized for it. Coach already told me that he understands it has nothing to do with me. We're good now."
