According to recent reports from Adrian Wojnarowski, an NBA insider and analyst for ESPN, the NBA has reached a decision similar to that of the Newport Beach (Calif) police regarding the case of Oklahoma City Thunder’s Josh Giddey. This case involves online allegations of an inappropriate relationship with an underage girl.

 

ESPN Sources: Four months after Newport Beach (Calif) police announced a probe had been “unable to corroborate any criminal activity” against Oklahoma City’s Josh Giddey, 21, involving online allegations of an inappropriate relationship with an underage girl, the NBA has closed its own investigation into the matter after coming to a similar conclusion.” Adrian Wojnarowski mentioned this in his recent post on X (formerly known as Twitter).

What was the underage female case Josh Giddey was involved in?

The allegations against Josh Giddey began at the end of November. An unknown person uploaded a video of Giddey, claiming that the girl seen with him in photos and videos was a high school junior at the time. The images and video went viral overnight and reached NBA officials and the police. However, the post was later deleted from that account, and the social media account was terminated. In early December, NBA Commissioner Adam Silver stated that the league’s investigation would prioritize the police’s protocol. On November 29, Newport Beach police began an inquiry.

“The Newport Beach Police Department is committed to ensuring that accurate information is disseminated to the public while also ensuring the rights of all those involved,” according to a Newport Beach police statement.

However, Giddey has not made a statement on the incident. He continued to play for the Thunder in their postseason run to the Western Conference semifinals. He averaged 8.7 points and 3.6 rebounds per game throughout that series.

Luka Doncic Extols Kyrie Irving’s Role in Mavericks’ Success

Luka Doncic and Kyrie Irving’s partnership has been a driving force for the Dallas Mavericks throughout the season. They did not even hesitate to praise each other after the Mavs got the ticket to the Western Conference Finals.

Meanwhile, once again, their chemistry was fully displayed as they secured a 1-0 lead in the Western Conference Finals. After their victory in Game 1, the Serbian superstar showered praise on his teammate, comparing him with Anthony Edwards.

They got Anthony Edwards, but we got Kyrie Irving who can guard him, we’re ready to against anybody,” he said.

As the fans expect another win from the Mavs in Game 2, Doncic and Irving will look to continue their stellar partnership and lead the Mavericks to another victory. On the other hand, the Timberwolves will be determined to bounce back and even the series on their home turf at Target Center.

Game 2 is set for Friday, May 24, at 8:30 p.m. Eastern time. Stay tuned to get the latest update.
