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.
