At the end of an unbelievably masturbatory soliloquy on the progress of The Ringer, Bill Simmons said there will probably be a follow up story soon

Who am I supposed to root for in all of this. Embiid I guess.

Sixers investigation to be finished up within the next few days. League sources think he's getting fired.

More worried about Simmons dating a kardashian at this point.
Two days later I get a text back that says I'm a basketball player and a businessman, not a Thundercat.

It is starting to feel like it's not a slam dunk he's getting fired. I hope to Bottini I'm wrong.

More and more speculation through the NBA that he is gone. They hired a NY attorney to investigate him.

This really makes it sound like he’s done. It’s Pompey, yes, but he left the workouts as was previously reported, and sources are saying he’s gone:

Feels like the "soften the ground, get people off our backs tonight" leak.

If it's really him or his family it's incredibly wild that he was still making public statements that he didn't know what was going on as recently as this afternoon.

He doesnt have another option, he cant admit to shit talking 2 of his 3 (potential) superstars and keep his job. This is the Nixon route and it doesn't lead anywhere.
Hope he tries to fire the investigator in his next interview tho.

He's not going to throw his wife under the bus. Deny Deny Deny until the proof comes out and he looks like a dummy OR Deny Deny Deny in hopes they cant definitively prove it was him or someone associated with him but it's enough damage and circumstantial evidence that they can let him go. He'll keep his innocence

Can you imagine the crowd reaction to him at the Center if he's still here in the fall?
