Police Looking Into Oklahoma City Thunder Star Josh Giddey After Allegations Of Relationship With Underage Girl
There is already an NBA investigation into allegations levied against Josh Giddey of the Oklahoma City Thunder. Now police are looking into the matter.
According to TMZ, police in Newport Beach, California are looking into the allegations that made the rounds on social media last week.
Police are checking to see if there is any validity to these claims and if there is, whether or not any laws were broken.
The 21-year-old out of Australia has been asked about the allegations point-blank, but he has kept his lips sealed.
Despite everything surrounding Giddey off the court, he still started the team's Saturday night game against the Philadelphia 76ers. He also received a big response from fans when he was introduced as a starter before the game.
That night Giddey put up 10 points and played 26 minutes.
The Thunder will play the Minnesota Timberwolves on Tuesday and third-year pro is expected to be in the lineup once again.
It's important to note that Giddey is not currently facing any criminal charges and has not been found to have done anything.
However, the allegations are still causing headaches. The New York Post reports that the allegations have put Giddey's sponsorship deals in jeopardy. This includes one worth $40 million with an Australian cereal company.
So far this season, Giddey has averaged 12.1 points per game along with 5.8 total rebounds and 4.8 assists.
