NBA reportedly closes investigation into Josh Giddey for alleged relationship with a minor

The NBA's investigation into Josh Giddey of the Oklahoma City Thunder for an alleged relationship with a minor has been closed, according to ESPN's Adrian Wojnarowski.

In January, the Newport Beach (Calif.) Police Department announced that Giddey would not face criminal charges after being “unable to corroborate any criminal activity.”

According to Wojnarowski, the NBA closed its investigation after also being unable to find anything to corroborate the allegations.

After photos and videos purporting to support the allegations surfaced on social media, the NBA confirmed to Yahoo Sports' Vincent Goodwill in November that it was investigating the allegations. No further details were provided. Giddey turned 21 in October. The age of consent in California is 18.

As Newport Beach police began their investigation in late November, NBA Commissioner Adam Silver said that “where there is a criminal investigation, (the NBA) takes a back seat” and that Giddey would not be suspended solely on the basis of allegations.

Giddey and the Thunder have not commented on the allegations. He continued to play for the Thunder as they finished first in the Western Conference and advanced to the conference semifinals, where they lost to the Dallas Mavericks.
