According to TMZ, police are keen to speak with the girl in question, but it's claimed neither the girl nor those around her are talking to officials as they try to gather more information.<\/p>\n

When asked last week about social media posts suggesting a relationship, Giddey said: "I understand the question obviously, but there's no further comment right now. \u2026 I understand you guys want to know about it but just right now, I don't have anything to say."<\/p>\n

Thunder head coach Mark Daigneault also declined to comment, calling it a "personal matter." He declined again earlier this week to comment on Giddey's situation. <\/p>\n

"I'm not going to comment on anything that relates to Josh off the court," he said.<\/p>\n

NBA spokesperson Mike Bass told CNN on Wednesday: "We are aware of the report regarding the Newport Beach Police Department's inquiry. We are continuing to gather information."<\/p>\n
