WATCH: “Wouldn’t want to go near that weirdo either” – Josh Giddey HUMILIATED by Phoenix Suns not defending him; fans react 

Josh Giddey of the Oklahoma City Thunder had a night to forget in the away game against the Phoenix Suns at the Footprint Center, Phoenix, Arizona. It has been a tumultuous past few months for the Australian as he had faced allegations of inappropriate s*xual relationship with a minor.

However, it was announced that he won’t be facing charges as there was no “corroborating evidence” sufficient enough to press on with the case. Although, the NBA’s investigation is still ongoing, with no conclusion in sight for the time being.

In the game against the Phoenix Suns, a viral video has been circulating on social media showing players from the Suns backing off Giddey as he advances toward their paint. A move which appears to be unusual in the league, it stirred up a storm on social media with users on the platform speculating the reason being the Suns’ defensive reasons for backing off Giddey. Whatever the reasons were, it paid off as Giddey missed the shot from beyond the arc.

At the time of writing this report, the Suns are mounting a comeback effort against the top of the table OKC and reduced a 20+ deficit with a strong third quarter 33-23 performance, courtesy of Bradley Beal and Kevin Durant.
