SMH: NBA Investigating Alleged Relationship Between Josh Giddey & Underage Girl, Giddey Avoids Questions On The Accusations
The National Basketball Association has revealed it’s investigating an alleged relationship between Josh Giddey and an underage girl.
On Wednesday, November 22, a questionable video emerged online featuring Oklahoma City Thunder player Josh Giddey. In the video, he was seen snuggling up with a girl who clearly wasn’t of age. As the video spread on social media, the allegations began to pick up steam after internet detectives found the girl’s Snapchat.
On her Snapchat, she uploaded a video captioned, “Just f**ked Josh Giddey.”

Surprisingly, Giddey attended OKC’s Media Availability after the videos and allegations surfaced but declined to comment.
Additionally, OKC’s head coach, Mark Daigneault, also dodged the matter with poor excuses.
“I understand the question obviously, but there’s no further comment right now,” Giddey told reporters. “I get the question guys, I completely understand you guys want to know about it but just for right now, I don’t have anything to say,”
Daigneault added, “Personal matter and I have no comment on it. And that’ll be my answer on anything related.”
Maybe PR training would be a good idea for the Thunder organization, as the handling thus far has been a disaster. Giddey remaining around the team isn’t a good look, and not denying the allegations is definitely odd.
Could you imagine if these allegations emerged during David Stern’s time as commissioner?
