Despite facing troubling allegations of dating an underage girl and the emergence of incriminating videos and photos, the Oklahoma City Thunder allowed Josh Giddey to play in their game against the Philadelphia 76ers.
Giddey recorded 10 points, 8 assists, and 7 rebounds during the game. Some of Giddey‘s Thunder teammates reportedly deleted tweets about him after the accusations surfaced.
Fan reactions
Social media users have speculated on the team’s decision, hitting out at the Thunder. Meanwhile, reports suggest that Thunder management may be waiting to gather all the facts before taking action.
A video has surfaced that some believe may exonerate Giddey, and the team’s slow reaction suggests they may possess information not yet public.
“Kyrie losing a shoe deal for posting a link out of context. Ja morant got suspend 25 games for posting a gun on Instagram live. But Josh Giddey gets to play while in the middle of sexual acts with someone under age and it’s not being talked about on espn ? Lmao ok,” a user wrote.
Another added: “I’ll never forget they had ja morant doing a gale king sit down interview with Jalen rose after the Instagram live gun situation but Josh Giddey got to tell the media ‘no comment at this time’ and still play in games lmao”.
