Chicago Bulls Guard Jaden Ivey was pardoned Monday after allegedly making anti-LGBTQ comments on social media. Ivey had already been ruled out for the rest of the season with a left knee injury.
Following the incident, the shooting guard received considerable support, including from New England Patriots running back Treveon Henderson.
In a post on his X page, Henderson expressed sympathy for Ivey by sharing what the player said that led to his release. He then used a Bible verse, Matthew 5:10, to show support for the 24-year-old guard.
“Blessed are those who are persecuted for righteousness’ sake, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven,” Henderson tweeted.
Jaden Ivey was having the best year of his career last season before suffering a foot injury. As a result, Ivey missed out on a rookie max extension, as he moved down the Detroit Pistons’ pecking order this season.
Thus, he played limited minutes and was traded to the Chicago Bulls at the deadline as part of a three-way deal. minnesota timberwolves.
It’s going to be an interesting summer for the Ivies, full of potential. However, his recent comments could prove problematic for him for other teams.
Former NBA player also supported Jaden Ivey
Apart from Trevion Henderson, Jaden Ivey also received support from former NBA star Royce White. The player-turned-politician hopes to run for senator in Minnesota this summer, so he used the current issue as part of his campaign.
“Boom…freedom of speech? You now have to support sucking dick to play in the NBA? What a blow this is to American culture! Get it, massive blow? Seriously, can we reel this in? What’s even that?” White tweeted.
Although Ivy had the right to say whatever he wanted, he was presumably not free from the terms of being employed by a private franchise like the Chicago Bulls.
However, it will be interesting to see how the 24-year-old player weathers this storm and which team he eventually lands up in.
