The NBA is looking into allegations made against Thunder guard Josh Giddey, a league spokesman confirmed to The Post on Friday.
Giddey offered “no comment” on Friday when asked about assertions the 21-year-old engaged in an inappropriate relationship with an underage girl.
The claims surfaced Wednesday night on social media.
“I understand the question obviously, but no further comment right now,” Giddey told reporters, who pressed him repeatedly. “I get the question guys, I completely understand you want to know about it, but just for right now, I don’t have anything to say.”
Thunder coach Mark Daigneault offered the same response when the topic came up at Friday’s practice.
“Personal matter,” he said. “I have no comment on that and that will be my answer on anything related.”
The 6-foot-8 Australian is averaging 12.3 points, 5.7 rebounds and 4.5 assists while shooting 43.5% over 15 games this season, his third in the NBA after the Thunder made him the sixth-overall pick in the 2021 draft.
He’s played a key role in the Thunder’s six-game win streak, which has seen them improve to 11-4, second to the Minnesota Timberwolves (11-3) in the Western Conference.
Giddey added 10 points, six rebounds and two assists in 29 minutes in a 116-102 win over the Bulls, on Wednesday.
Oklahoma City returns to action on Saturday on home court at the Paycom Center against the 76ers.
