Questionable Video Surfaces Online
The National Basketball Association (NBA) is currently investigating an alleged relationship between Oklahoma City Thunder player Josh Giddey and an underage girl. The controversy arose after a video featuring Giddey snuggling up with a girl who appeared to be underage circulated on social media on November 22.
Allegations Gain Momentum
The video quickly gained traction online, and internet detectives were able to track down the girl's Snapchat account. On her Snapchat, she posted a video with the caption, "Just f**ked Josh Giddey."
NBA Confirms Investigation
Following the widespread circulation of the video, the NBA confirmed that it is investigating the situation. NBA Insider Shams Charania tweeted a statement from league spokesman Mike Bass, saying, "The NBA is looking into the allegations of Oklahoma City's Josh Giddey having an inappropriate relationship with a minor that have emerged via social media."
Player and Coach Remain Silent
Despite the controversy, Giddey attended the Oklahoma City Thunder's Media Availability session after the videos and allegations surfaced but chose not to comment. The team's head coach, Mark Daigneault, also avoided addressing the matter directly, stating, "Personal matter, and I have no comment on it."
Thunder's Handling of Situation Criticized
The Thunder organization has faced criticism for its handling of the situation. Giddey's continued presence with the team while the investigation is ongoing has raised eyebrows, and the lack of denial of the allegations has been deemed unusual.
