According to information from the “Washington Post”, published this Monday, the 27th, the shipowner of the Oklahoma City Thunder, Josh Giddeycould be in danger of losing a $40 million sponsorship deal with the Australian cereal brand Weet-Bixfrom the Sanitarium Health Food Company. According to the “Code Sports” website, the player was removed from the company’s social networks. The breakdown of partnership may be connected with the news that the NBA is investigating allegations about the athlete’s alleged relationship with a minor.

According to a company spokesperson, according to “Code Sports”, via “The New York Post”, the company is aware of the shipowner’s situation. “Obviously, we are aware of the news surrounding Josh Giddey and are awaiting confirmation of the facts. We are in contact with Josh’s management and awaiting further details at this time.”, he said. Last Thursday, the 23rd, footage and photos of the shipowner with a girl began to spread across social media, with accusations that the girl was underage, while the Australian is 21 years old. In the media, the athlete appears calling the young woman “my girl” and, in a specific photo, the caption suggests that the two had had sexual relations.

Mike Bass, spokesperson for the NBA, revealed last Friday, the 24th, that the league had begun an investigation into the case. When asked about the matter, Giddey responded: “I understand the question, obviously, but I have no comment at this time.”. The point guard played normally in the match against Philadelphia 76ers last Saturday, the 25th, finishing with 10 points, eight assists and seven rebounds.
