ESPN’s Malika Andrews is taking some serious stick from NBA fans amid the Josh Giddey saga as she’s said nothing about the Oklahoma City Thunder star following allegations of him sleeping with a minor.
The NBA has opened up an investigation into the matter but, strangely enough, all of the major networks have been silent on it.
Andrews, though, has been singled out due to her perceived knack for going after black athletes once they’re thought to be in the wrong but switching the energy whenever the athlete is white. You can see some of the reactions right below:
.@malika_andrews you went out your way to crucify Brandon Miller on draft day over something he didn’t even do
Why haven’t you said nothing about Josh Giddey
I advise you not to make this a black or white thing
Your parents really raised you wrong and just because you went…

While there is footage out there suggesting that Giddey could be innocent, it’s the deafening silence that’s earned her all of the criticism.
It will be interesting to see what the league comes up with by the end of its investigation. It really isn’t that hard to verify someone’s age once you’ve identified them. There’s no question Josh was involved with the female in question as they’ve appeared in both photos and videos together – now it’s just a matter of determining whether she’s of legal age.
The player has been permitted to suit up for OKC in the meantime. We expect something from the league soon.
RUMOR: Dak Prescott Predicted To Leave Dallas Cowboys For Record-Setting Contract

Surprisingly, the Dallas Cowboys have yet to extend star quarterback Dak Prescott as the 2024 regular season inches closer.
The 31-year-old Dak Prescott is entering the last season of a four-year contract extension worth $160 million that he signed with Dallas in 2021. Prescott has all the leverage now after seeing fellow quarterbacks Tua Tagovailoa (Miami Dolphins) and Jordan Love (Green Bay Packers) sign extensions north of $200 million just last week.
Prescott’s deal with Dallas also contains no-tag and no-trade clauses, so the three-time Pro Bowler can hit free agency next summer if Jerry Jones doesn’t finalize an extension. And if that happens, Prescott will be the biggest name to enter the open market next year.
Bleacher Report’s Kristopher Knox predicted the future contracts for Prescott and San Francisco 49ers signal-caller Brock Purdy after the Tagovailoa and Love extensions. Knox projects that Prescott will leave Dallas and sign a four-year, $224 million deal in free agency:
“The Dallas Cowboys have botched pretty much every aspect of Prescott’s contract situation throughout this offseason. It began early, when franchise owner and team president Jerry Jones stated that he wanted to see more before handing out extensions to Prescott, CeeDee Lamb and Micah Parsons…
If Kirk Cousins, at 35 and coming off a torn Achilles, can get a four-year deal worth $45 million annually in free agency, Prescott can get considerably more. That reality might have Jones coming to grips with the fact that he’ll be looking for a new quarterback in 2025…
It’s starting to feel like a split between Dallas and Prescott is inevitable.”
