Jaden Ivey Breaks Silence After Being Released By Bulls
Ivey was released by the franchise for conduct detrimental to the team. After the comments he made during a recent livestream. However, Ivey insists that the franchise is lying. And targeted him for speaking out about his religion.
“They’re liars, bro. This is lying,” Ivey said as heard through The Athletic. “They’re lying, saying my conduct is detrimental to the team. That’s a lie. Ask any one of those coaches in there, ‘Was I a good teammate?’ All I’m preaching about is Jesus Christ, and they waived me. They say I’m crazy, right? I’m psycho.”
He also added, “I didn’t get myself waived. I was in the gym today. I was rehabbing, doing what was required of my job.”
During a livestream on Monday, Ivey made anti-LGBTQ comments. Saying that the group represented “unrighteousness.”
Bulls’ head coach Billy Donovan also addressed the decision on Monday night.
“I think there’s a certain level of standards and expectations that are here,” Donovan said. “I mean, we have people from all different walks of life working in the building and players from all different walks of life, right? So, the first thing is, everybody comes with their own personal experiences. But one thing is, we’ve got to all be professional. I think there’s got to be a high level of respect for one another, and we’ve got to help each other and then be accountable to those standards.”
