The NBA says it is investigating an accusation that Oklahoma City Thunder guard Josh Giddey had an improper relationship with an underage girl.
In a since-deleted post, an anonymous social media user said a girl who is seen with Giddey in videos and photographs was a high school junior at the time. The social media account has since been deactivated.
“We’re looking into it,” Michael Bass, an NBA spokesman, said on Saturday.
When questioned about the “serious allegations” following the Thunder’s practice session on Saturday morning, Giddey responded, “I understand the question obviously, but there’s no further comment right now.” When pressed further, he reiterated, “I get the question guys. I completely understand you guys wanna know about it. But just for right now, I don’t have anything to say.”
Thunder coach Mark Daigneault also declined to comment on the matter.
