While many NBA players spent their Thanksgiving holiday peacefully with their families, young talent Josh Giddey of the Oklahoma City Thunder had to live in worry with information about his private life that had just appeared on social networks. .

Through a post that has since been deleted, a girl shared many photos and videos of “sex” with the Australian defender when they were both high school students. This social network account has now been inactive before great interest from fans.

An NBA spokesman said he had received information about Giddey’s alleged relationship with a minor and the league would conduct an investigation.

Josh Giddey was selected with the 6th pick by the Oklahoma City Thunder at the 2021 NBA Draft. The player born in 2002 soon made a name for himself in the NBA thanks to his impressive assist ability and frequent triple-doubles.

During practice this morning (November 25), Josh interacted with reporters but refused to share more about the incident. Standing up to protect his student, Thunder head coach Mark Daigneault also took similar actions.

“I know people will want to ask me questions and completely understand that. But I will not comment any further at this time ,” Giddey said.

“This is a personal matter for the player and I as coach will not share anything more. I will repeat this answer any time when asked about Josh and what’s involved,” the OKC Thunder captain replied to the reporter.

This season, although Giddey was somewhat inferior to the outstanding brilliance of Sai Gilgeous-Alexander, he still left certain marks.

He has averaged 12.3 points, 5.7 rebounds and 4.5 assists in 15 games since the beginning of the season, contributing to 11 victories for the team that is considered the dark horse of the NBA this year.
