on monday evening Chicago Bulls Guard Jaden Ivey was released after an Instagram live stream in which he made anti-LGBTQ comments.
Ivey had been with the team for just over a month after being traded to the Detroit Pistons. But now, it seems his NBA future may be in serious doubt in light of his recent comments.
While the Bulls’ move to the shooting guard has received some support from unexpected quarters, Ivey didn’t seem too fearful about his future NBA prospects. In a subsequent live stream, he called out major league celebrities like Stephen Curry and LeBron James.
He then went live again on Tuesday morning and revealed how his family is handling his recent controversial comments.
According to Ivey, his family now thinks he is losing his mind after his controversial comments.
“People that are around me, that are my family members, are calling me out on what I say. The truth. Calling me out. Saying I’m losing my mind. Saying I’m crazy. Saying I don’t know the truth,” Ivey said, per Joel Lorenzi of The Athletic.
“These are my own family members who love me. My blood. Who raised me telling me I didn’t know the truth. ‘Man, he’s psycho.’ He is this, he is that. That is my own house. All because of the gospel. All this because I told the truth.”
He also claimed that his wife is no longer messaging him during another live session.
Jaden Ivey will receive full guaranteed salary despite being waived
In the meantime, more details are coming into focus, particularly regarding Ivey’s salary. According to Mike Vorkunov of The Athletic, Ivey will still receive the full remainder of his $10.1 million salary for the 2025-26 season.
Typically, this was never guaranteed. Teams can attempt to recover salary in cases involving conduct detrimental to the team, but it is understood the Chicago Bulls will not go that route.
But overall, this has certainly been an unexpected turn of events for the former lottery selection.
