The moment NBA star Josh Giddey is asked about shocking allegations that he had an inappropriate relationship with a minor after photos of the pair went viral on social media

This is when Josh Giddey made his first media appearance since the NBA launched an investigation into allegations that he had an inappropriate relationship with a minor.

The rising Oklahoma City Thunder star, 21, practiced with his teammates as usual on Friday before reporting for interviews with reporters.

He was immediately asked about the allegations made against him, with one reporter noting: “Josh, you’ve gone viral in recent days for some pretty serious allegations. I know there’s nothing concrete about that, but can you talk about that situation?’

In response, the Australian NBA star said: “Yes, I mean, I obviously understand the question, but err, there is no further comment at this time.”

One reporter then asked a question about the team’s defense, before a third reporter returned to the serious allegations and asked for a follow-up.

Giddey then responded: “I understand the question guys, I completely understand you wanting to know more about it, but at this point I have nothing to say.”

The team’s head coach, Mark Daigneault, was also questioned about his stardom and the unsavory allegations, but he too declined to answer.

“Personal matter and I have no comment on it,” he began, before adding, “and that will be my response to anything related to it.”

Photos and videos of Giddey with a girl – including one in which she bragged about having sex with him – were posted on social media in recent days.

NBA spokesman Mike Bass said Friday afternoon, “The NBA is investigating allegations that Oklahoma City’s Josh Giddey had an inappropriate relationship with a minor that came forward via social media.”

In one of the photos, the girl boasted that she “just fucked Josh Giddey,” who was topless

In another photo, Giddey is seen with his arm around her body and the caption “he says hey”

Giddey, 21, was selected by the Thunder with the sixth overall pick in the 2021 NBA draft and has emerged as one of their most important players.

One of the images posted online shows the girl bragging about having sex with Giddey.

The photo – which shows a shirtless Giddey standing behind her – is captioned ‘just f***ed josh giddey’.

Another shows the Australian player with his arm around her body and the caption ‘he says hey’.

There is also a video of Giddey supposedly talking to the girl’s brother, saying: ‘I’m here with your beautiful sister.

‘Good luck with your season. I hear you’re heading to Sacramento for a game soon, so good luck. We’re coming up to see how you handle things.’

In another video, in which she appears to be standing in the background outside a nightclub, Giddey says: ‘What’s going on, my man? We’re at the front of the club, me and my girl, about to go back to mine.’

Giddey, who was pictured for two recent NBA games this week, declined to comment on the matter when asked by reporters Friday afternoon.

It remains unclear when and where the photos and videos were taken and how old the girl actually is.

The age of consent in Oklahoma is 16.

DailyMail.com has contacted the Oklahoma City Thunder for comment.

Giddey and the Thunder play the Philadelphia 76ers on Saturday afternoon, but it is still unclear whether the Australian will play a role in the game.
