An NBA spokesperson said the league will investigate Oklahoma City Australian player Josh Giddey for allegedly having a relationship with a 15-year-old girl.
Another off-court affair for the NBA to deal with… After the videos of Memphis superstar Ja Morant with a weapon (he is currently serving a 25-game suspension), the accusations of domestic violence against Charlotte player Miles Bridges (he been suspended 30 games and is currently playing again with the Hornets, while awaiting his judgment), here are the accusations of relationship with a minor against Josh Giddey, the Oklahoma City player. On Friday, an NBA spokesperson said an investigation would be launched into the 21-year-old Australian after an anonymous social media account revealed intimate photos and videos showing the player of the year last with a 15-year-old girl, which could constitute a crime in the state of Oklahoma. Asked about it after training on Friday, Giddey replied: “I obviously understand the question, but there are no further comments at the moment.”. His coach Mark Daigneault assured that this affair would not hinder the smooth running of the Thunder, currently co-leader of the Western Conference with eleven victories for four defeats: “It’s a personal matter and I have no no comment to make on that. And this will be my commentary on everything related to it. »
Giddey undisputed leader of the Thunder
Josh Giddey, born in Melbourne in 2002, was chosen sixth position by Oklahoma City during the 2021 Draft (that of Cade Cunningham, Scottie Barnes and Franz Wagner). The leader immediately established himself within the young Thunder team. Starting in all his matches, he played 54 matches during his first season, 76 during the second, and fifteen out of fifteen possible this season. During this 2023-24 fiscal year, he averages 12.3 points, 5.7 rebounds and 4.5 assists in 27 minutes. His points record is 31, a total reached last March against Charlotte. OKC receives Philadephia this Saturday in one of the posters of the evening. Will Josh Giddey manage to shine while he is at the center of controversy?
