Josh Giddey might be in the clear legally, but he is still under his employer’s microscope — the NBA’s review into claims he had an improper relationship with a minor remains ongoing, TMZ Sports has learned.
Sources tell us nothing has changed as far as the Association is concerned … despite Newport Beach PD recently closing its investigation without the 21-year-old Oklahoma City Thunder guard being charged.
As we previously reported, the Giddey case ended after officials found no corroborating evidence … as the minor and her family declined to speak with officials.
“After a thorough and exhaustive examination, we have completed our investigation into information that was circulating on social media involving Josh Giddey,” Newport Beach PD said in a statement.
“Our detectives have reviewed all of the available information and were unable to corroborate any criminal activity related to Mr. Giddey.”
Adam Silver said in December the league would take a “backseat” while police conducted its investigation … so with that being over, it sounds like the NBA is grabbing the wheel once again.
Giddey has not spoken on the scandal … and has remained active for the Thunder throughout both investigations.
In fact, he was asked about the case being closed Thursday morning … and declined to comment once again.
