Oklahoma City Australian guard Josh Giddey is under investigation by the NBA, a league spokesperson said Friday, regarding a potential relationship with a minor, which the 21-year-old player did not wish to comment.
Sports media The Athletic cited NBA spokesperson Mike Bass as “investigating” allegations of an “inappropriate relationship” between Josh Giddey and a minor that surfaced this week on social media.
“I understand the question, of course, but no I won’t make any comment,” Giddey responded Friday, when asked on the sidelines of Thunder training.
His coach Mark Daigneault also declined any comment on a “personal matter”.
Josh Giddey is playing his 3rd NBA season. With 12.3 points, 5.7 rebounds and 4.5 assists on average this season, he is an important player for the young and talented Thunder team, second in the Western Conference (11 wins – 4 losses), which remains on six consecutive successes before hosting Philadelphia on Saturday.
