Bulls Waive Guard Jaden Ivey After Anti-LGBTQ Comments, Remarks About Religion on Instagram
The Bulls cut guard Jaden Ivey after multiple Instagram Live videos featuring religious rants and anti-LGBTQ remarks during his season-ending knee injury rehab.
- On Monday, March 30, 2026, the Chicago Bulls waived guard Jaden Ivey, citing "conduct detrimental to the team" following a series of controversial social media videos posted during his season-ending injury absence.
- Following his shutdown on March 26 due to lingering knee issues, Ivey, 24, posted multiple Instagram videos targeting the NBA's Pride Month advocacy, stating, "The NBA, they proclaim it. They say, 'Come join us for Pride Month,' to celebrate unrighteousness."
- Coach Billy Donovan said, "Everybody comes with their own personal experiences, but one is we've got to all be professional," while Ivey also referred to Catholicism as a "false religion" in online comments to fans.
- Acquired at the February trade deadline, Ivey appeared in only four games for Chicago before his shutdown and was in the final year of his rookie contract, leaving him without a team for the remainder of the season.
- The former top-five pick has played just 67 games over the last two seasons due to recurring lower-body injuries and faces an uncertain path toward restricted free agency this summer amid the controversy.
