Andrew Bogut has begged Josh Giddey to ‘strengthen his circle’.

Shooting guard Giddey, 21, is the subject of an NBA investigation following claims he had an inappropriate relationship with a minor after photos of him with a girl were recently posted on social media.

Giddey was asked about the allegation on Saturday as he returned to the basketball court and said: “Yes, I mean, I obviously understand the question, but there is no further comment at this time.”

The 21-year-old is one of the NBA’s biggest stars and has already earned lucrative sponsorship deals in his young career, although Weet-Bix confirmed they are keeping a close eye on the investigation, with the basketball player being a $40 million ambassador for the breakfast cereal brand.

And former Golden State Warriors star Bogut reported on the investigation on his podcast.

‘It’s just an absolute s***show, just like on social media. The damage has been done to his PR, regardless of the outcome.

“We’ve had media lawsuits for the last 30 years, and now social media lawsuits are probably a hundred times worse.

Bogut then urged Giddey to “tighten his circle” once the dust settles.

‘He has so much to lose. No matter what comes out in the next two weeks… all those memes and all this s*** now, they’ll be there forever. It’s hard to take it back on social media.

‘It’s an equally ****y situation for everyone involved.

“It’s a valuable lesson for Josh. He needs to tighten up his circle and focus on that because he’s only been doing this for ten or fifteen years.

“As far as I understand and know, he was never a man who got into trouble or who knowingly wanted to act crazy.”

Ny Breaking Australia has contacted Giddey’s management for comment.
