What was Josh Giddey's response when questioned about inappropriate minor relationship allegations? Looking into OKC star's reply

Josh Giddey has been in the limelight since early this week not because of his exploits for the OKC Thunder, but for his alleged relationship with a minor. The allegations, made by a user on Twitter/X, created a storm on social media. As a result, the NBA has decided to investigate the matter.

In the Thunder’s first practice session since the controversial news came out, Giddey was asked by a reporter for his comments. The Australian declined.

"I understand the question obviously, but there's no further comment right now.”

Liv Cook, reportedly the name of the girl in question, is said to be in junior high. Josh Giddey, in one of the videos that went viral, could be heard saying that she was “his girl.”

A Snapchat photo of the two also went viral, which Cook allegedly captioned:

“Just f**ked Josh Giddey.”

The OKC Thunder have not released an official statement yet but head coach Mark Daigneault was asked to comment. Like Giddey, his reply was brief:

"Personal matter, and I have no comment on it. And that'll be my comment on anything related."

The whole brouhaha started when “OC Beers” posted this since-deleted allegation:

"Josh Giddey from the OKC Thunder with an underage girl. First video he is talking to her brother. This is Disgusting and this man needs to be punished. We can’t let this go under the surface any longer. This needs to be seen. Girl is a junior high school."

The accusation that started it all in the Josh Giddey brouhaha.

All eyes will be on Josh Giddey when the OKC Thunder host the Philadelphia 76ers

On Saturday, the OKC Thunder will host reigning MVP Joel Embiid and the Philadelphia 76ers. The expected seesaw battle between two playoff-bound teams could be overshadowed by the controversial allegations and the NBA’s investigation.

The Thunder are on a season-high six-game winning streak and have won nine out of their last 10. They are arguably the hottest team in the NBA at the moment.

Josh Giddey has played a key role in the Thunder’s impressive season. The 21-year-old point guard is averaging 12.3 points, 5.7 rebounds and 4.5 assists. He is arguably Oklahoma’s best passer and reader of the game.
