Bulls waive Jaden Ivey after his anti-Pride remarks
SAN ANTONIO — The Bulls wanted to see more from Jaden Ivey than just the four games he gave them before his knee issues became a concern and he was shut down.
As of Monday, however, there is nothing the organization wants to see from him any longer.
The Bulls waived Ivey on Monday “due to conduct detrimental to the team” because of Ivey’s latest social media comments saying Pride Month celebrated “unrighteousness.”
Acquired at the trade deadline from Detroit in the Kevin Huerter deal, there were some red flags around Ivey last month when he held an impromptu postgame sermon about the “Old Jaden Ivey” being dead, especially now that “Christ was in his life.”
