The now-former Trail Blazers play-by-play broadcaster Braiden Bell has spoken out for the first time since his Thursday firing. Bell, who was axed just hours after Portland announced his hiring over resurfaced racist and misogynistic posts on X, posted an apology statement to social media on Friday. “I am deeply sorry for the language that I used on Twitter,” Bell wrote on X.
