The NBA is looking into allegations that Oklahoma City Thunder swingman Josh Giddey had an improper relationship with an underage girl, a league spokesman said.
The allegations surfaced on social media earlier this week. Giddey, 21, declined comment while speaking to Thunder reporters.
“I understand the question obviously, but there’s no further comment right now,” Giddey said. “I get the question guys. I completely understand you guys want to know about it, but just for right now, I don’t have anything to say.”
