The Philadelphia 76ers have hired the law firm of Paul/Weiss to investigate secret Twitter usage allegedly connected to Bryan Colangelo.

The probe has largely been focused on Colagenlo's wife, Barbara. 

The ownership group of the 76ers has been discussing the possibility of firing Colangelo, sources said. The Sixers are pushing for a resolution as soon as early this week.

Colangelo's assertion that he was previously unaware of any tweets by his wife has been met with skepticism inside and outside of the 76ers. 

It is believed that Paul/Weiss is using cyberintelligence consultants to assist them in the investigation, which sources say has included Colangelo surrendering his phones and electronic devices for scrutiny.
