Fans took to social media in disbelief after a video emerged alleging that Josh Giddey of the Oklahoma City Thunder is in a relationship with a minor.
An X user shared a video of Giddey with a girl named Liv Cook. In one video, the Australian guard can be seen wrapping his arms around her. A picture, seemingly from Snapchat, showed Giddey with his arms wrapped around her neck.
Fans on social media immediately began speculating about the matter, with many alleging that the girl in the video isn't of legal age.
"Josh Giddey from the OKC thunder with an under-age girl. First video he is talking to her brother. This is Disgusting and this man needs to be punished. We can’t let this go under the surface any longer. This needs to be seen. Girl is a junior in high school," a post on X said.
One fan said:
"What is the nba coming to… please tell me this is fake."
"Terrible hooper and a child predator. damn."
"GIDDEY AINT NO WAY DAWG"
"Hornets found their new player"
"nah 15 is crazy"
"for f**k sakes tell me this is cap"
"We got Karl Malone 2.0 before GTA 6"
"how do you manage to f*ck up your career this bad"
"He’s not even as good a player like Karl Malone to get away with this"
"bout to head back to mine" is f**king wild 😭 😭"
"The NBA just would let it slide and it's disgusting..."
There hasn't been any statement from the Thunder management and Giddey has remained silent since the alleged video emerged.

Josh Giddey's NBA career so far
Although Giddey isn't a big star in the league yet. But he is potentially on his way to becoming one. Selected as the No. 6 pick by the OKC Thunder in 2021, Giddey has been exceptional as the team's starting point guard.
He is a key member of their young core alongside Shai Gilgeous-Alexander and Chet Holmgren. Giddey has averaged 14.6 points, 7.6 rebounds and 6.1 assists across three NBA seasons. He's a unique presence in his position, standing tall at six feet and eight inches.
