NBA investigating disturbing allegations against Thunder's Josh Giddey

The NBA is looking into allegations made against Thunder guard Josh Giddey, league spokesperson Mike Bass said Friday (X links via Chris Mannix of SI.com and Shams Charania of The Athletic).

A series of videos and screenshots went viral on social media this week alleging that Giddey, who turned 21 last month, engaged in an inappropriate relationship with a minor.

Giddey was asked during a media session on Friday about the allegations and declined to comment, telling reporters, “I understand the question, obviously, but there’s no further comment right now” (video link via Rylan Stiles of Locked on Thunder).

Thunder head coach Mark Daigneault also rebuffed questions about the situation on Friday, referring to it as a “personal matter” and declining to comment (video link via Stiles).

There’s no indication to this point that Giddey will be unavailable for the Thunder while the investigation is ongoing.
