Per ESPN:
The NBA is looking into allegations that Oklahoma City Thunder guard Josh Giddey had an improper relationship with an underage girl, a league spokesperson said Friday.
The allegations surfaced on social media earlier this week.
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.
“I understand the question obviously, but there’s no further comment right now,” Giddey told reporters when asked about the allegations after practice.
