Chet Holmgren has been one of the most dedicated rookies of this season. The 2023-24 season has shown us that today’s freshers aren’t here to simply play but to prove that they can be legendary. Holmgren is just the type of person who showcases the truest qualities of a big-time player. At the same time, he’s also someone the NBA loves being around. He’s got a great character and a fighting spirit that he carries on his shoulder.
Unfortunately, Chet made his debut one year after being drafted. The 2022 No.2 overall pick injured himself before the start of last season, sidelining him for the whole year. However, ever since making his debut, the Oklahoma City Thunder have clearly set up a strong team. Holmgren has also become great friends with third-year guard Josh Giddey and OKC leader, Shai Gilgeous-Alexander. This chemistry is what makes them tough competitors and a top-tier team in the Western Conference.
Chet Holmgren deleted a post on social media that involved Josh Giddey
Amongst everybody, Chet Holmgren has grown closest to Josh Giddey. Both players have been thriving in their own ways. The big man has often posted images of himself and Giddey on social media, claiming that he really values their friendship. Chet once reposted a series of images on X stating, “Me n twin (Giddey) locked in fasho.” He meant that his bond with Giddey was very strong and real.

However, a month after the post appeared on X, Giddey was accused of having a relationship with a minor. The Australian phenom has received endless amounts of backlash for his alleged unruly behavior. While Giddey hasn’t publicly addressed the issue, Holmgren might have changed his mind about his relationship with him. The repost was removed shortly after the allegations came out. Clearly, Chet isn’t liking what’s going on and wants no part of it.
Does Chet Holmgren still follow Josh Giddey on social media?
Even though Chet Holmgren removed the repost on X, he still follows Giddey on social media. But as far as their relationship goes, this incident might affect it big time. It could possibly result in chemistry issues on the court which may reflect on OKC’s form in the long run. Right now, the Thunder are second in the Western Conference with a record of 11 wins and 4 losses. They’ve been performing tremendously better than last season as well.
On the other hand, Giddey has gone radio silent. After the allegations surfaced, he blacked out his display picture on Instagram. Giddey had also blocked comments on his posts as fans were trying to heckle him for answers. The girl has been identified as Liv Cook. She has a decent following on TikTok and that’s possibly how the internet detectives were able to put a name on her face. Other than that, there’s almost no information available on her.
