Jaden Ivey Waived by Bulls After Anti-LGBTQ+ Comments, Religious Rants on Social Media
Jaden Ivey was waived for posting anti-LGBTQ videos opposing NBA Pride Month, causing a major distraction, the Bulls said.
- On Monday, the Chicago Bulls waived Jaden Ivey following the guard's anti-LGBT statements made during recent Instagram Live sessions, citing 'conduct detrimental to the team.'
- During three Instagram Live sessions on March 26, 28, and 30, Ivey criticized Pride Month and argued he was speaking "righteousness" while labeling celebrations as "unrighteousness."
- Having appeared in just four games since his trade from the Detroit Pistons, the guard had already been shut down for the season with a knee injury on Thursday.
- Now without a team, Ivey faces an uncertain offseason after playing just 67 games over the last two seasons combined, leaving the front office to manage the distraction.
- Staffers and media had previously noted the guard's tendency to steer locker room conversations toward evangelical Christian beliefs, while the franchise currently holds one of the league's lowest-ranked offenses.
