Thunder Star Chet Holmgren’s Alleged Josh Giddey Joke Causes A Stir
Thunder Star Chet Holmgren’s Alleged Josh Giddey Joke Causes A Stir
Earlier this year Oklahoma City Thunder star Josh Giddey found himself embroiled in something of an unfortunate situation.
Essentially, he was accused of having an inappropriate relationship with a young woman who was under the age of 18. Multiple troubling videos and allegations came out as a result of the whole matter.
While Giddey was ultimately cleared by police because of a lack of information, his reputation didn’t emerge from the whole incident unscathed.
Similarly, his teammate Chet Holmgren had to deal with some fallout.
As it turns out, though – Holmgren doesn’t take the matter too seriously.
This week, he seemed to make a joke out of the whole thing, according to a screenshot captured by one eagle-eyed NBA fan:

The Thunder are currently 41-17 on the year and are tied atop the Western Conference with the Minnesota Timberwolves.
While Minnesota currently holds the tiebreaker over OKC, there is still a lot of season left.

Clearly the drama surrounding some of the Thunder’s players hasn’t impacted the team on the court one iota.
Will this be the year that Holmgren, Giddey and the Thunder win their first NBA championship? Time will tell.
