[Saba Sports News] Patrick Beverley recently discussed the allegations against NBA player Josh Giddey on his podcast, ‘The Pat Bev Podcast with Rone.’ The controversy centers on an alleged incident involving Giddey and an underage girl two years ago when he was 19. Beverley, who has two daughters, expressed his discomfort with the situation:
“I don’t even want to talk about it. I got a daughter. I don’t even want to think about it. I have two daughters… I have been fortunate not to be in situations like that. But I have a daughter, I just know how I get.”
Reports indicate the alleged incident took place in 2021 and was a one-time event. Giddey supposedly met the girl, a high school student under 18, in a nightclub and believed she was 19.
After discovering her real age, Giddey reportedly ended the relationship. He is currently under investigation by both the Newport Beach Police Department and the NBA for allegedly engaging in an inappropriate relationship with a minor.
The girl’s family has enlisted attorney Gloria Allred, adding a significant legal dimension to the case. While Giddey has not publicly addressed the allegations, he continues to play for the Oklahoma City Thunder as the investigation proceeds. The involvement of Allred underlines the gravity of the accusations and the family’s resolve to pursue the matter legally. The situation remains a contentious topic in the sports world as more details emerge.
