[Almanza] Mark Daigneault on Josh Giddey’s availability with the league investigating the online allegations: “Available to play. Will play. No change in his status.” When asked if that can change in the future, he said it’s a league matter

The only thing an NBA player can do just once to get suspended is criticize China
I read the relevant CBA exhibit, this seems like the kind of thing the NBA would put a player on administrative leave for, pending the investigation. They prob have about an hour left to do that before this game. I would be surprised if they don’t do that. I’m surprised already though.
Pg. 635 et seq. 641 for admin leave

they were chanting fuck josh giddey at an uzi concert. imagine away nba games 😭
Seems like the organization isn’t feeling like there is much to the allegations at the moment after seeing Mark’s full statement. He says with the info available to them at the moment they feel good, and I do absolutely believe the org has MUCH more insight into this than the internet sleuths
I’ll trust the org for now, but if worst case scenario happens to come true eventually, I’ll feel really dirty about letting him play today. We’ll just have to see how everything plays out, I hate this shit man
There still isn’t enough info out there for me to make any real conclusions since I don’t want to stir the pot without the info. But Josh shouldn’t be playing right now.
Disgusting
Thunder and the League should be embarrassed… Share a link to a film, suspension. Wave a gun, suspension…. have relations with a minor, nothing.
Duh. There is literally zero info on this.
I’ll be watching the game just cause I wanna hear the chants at him on the floor
The chants are going to be crazy during their away games
I mean it’s a promising sign
Honestly I think this kind of shuts this all down – and I’ve been leaning more towards him being guilty
The fact that theyre letting him play shows they something more than the twitter detectives. If he was clearly as guilty as yall claim, he would not be allowed anywhere near the team rn
Gotta love how randos on the internet are apparently more upset about this than the girl involved who last I checked was bragging about it.
Regardless of whether or not he’s guilty it seems kinda weird to let him play. No telling how the crowd will react to his presence.
very odd they are running him out there
As he should 🗣️

OKC points their fingers at the League. the League points their fingers at the legal system. in the end, nothing happens
I don’t want a pedo in the NBA, but I also don’t the league’s disciplinary method to be twitter courts.
Josh Giddy’s availability – Always down for a good time
Sixers will play prison rule bball tonight
She’s not legal👏🏽 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽she’s not legal👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽
“We at the team personally dont care”
It’s a league matter now? I thought it was a personal matter? Get better PR thunder
Wander Franco should have played in OKC.
Playing while the NBA is investigating possible inappropriate conduct with high schoolers is actually insane
