[Saba Sports News] The Oklahoma City Thunder are maintaining their regular approach with guard Josh Giddey for now.
On Saturday, Thunder’s head coach Mark Daigneault confirmed to the media that Giddey would participate in the evening’s game against the Philadelphia 76ers. “Available to play. Will play. No change in his status,” Daigneault stated regarding Giddey, who is in his third year with the team. Daigneault further mentioned, “Just with the information that we have at this point, that’s the decision that we made.”
Giddey, aged 21, is currently under a league investigation following allegations about an inappropriate relationship with a minor, which recently came to light through social media. These allegations can be fully reviewed via the provided link.
Interestingly, Giddey addressed these allegations with reporters on Friday. Based on the current situation, it seems the Thunder organization is confident enough to keep playing Giddey as usual, at least for the time being.
