Ultimately, the Bulls lost to the Hornets 123-116, dropping their second in a row. As a result, the Bulls now stand at 9-9. On Saturday, they will head to Indianapolis to take on the Pacers.
Altogether, Giddey finished with 25 points, 11 rebounds, and six assists. So far, Giddey is averaging 20.8 points, 9.9 rebounds, and 9.4 assists per game. Allegedly, the comments made by the fan were rooted in allegations that Giddey engaged in an inappropriate relationship with an underage girl.
In late 2023 and early 2024, Giddey was the subject of an investigation into his involvement with a teenage girl. Pictures circulated on social media of a man appearing to be Giddey in the company of a high school junior.

Itisn't just fans that bring it up. Recently,ESPN's Michelle Beadlementioned the allegations when discussingGiddey's chances of making the All-Star game.
“I bet one is. I bet one kid is.It’s in LA.That’s the closest stop to Australia, I guarantee one kid is there for Giddey, facts.”
So safe to say, thiswon't be the last time Giddey hears of it.
