NBA Investigating Thunder Guard Josh Giddey for Allegations Involving a Minor

According to multiple reports, the NBA is looking into allegations made on social media that Oklahoma City Thunder guard Josh Giddey had an inappropriate relationship with a minor, league spokesman Mike Bass said Friday.

The league initiated the inquiry after posts were made by an anonymous user allegedly connecting Giddey, 21, to an underage female. Giddey and Thunder coach Mark Daigneault declined to comment when asked at the Thunder’s media availability Friday.

“I understand the question obviously, but there’s no comment right now,” Giddey said.
