The Chicago Bulls waived player Jaden Ivey amid anti-gay comments

“Everybody comes with their own personal experiences, but one is we’ve got to all be professional,” Donovan said. “I think there’s got to be a high level of respect for one another, and we’ve got to help each other and then be accountable to those standards.”

He added, “I don’t want to get into what he put out there, but certainly, I hope for him he’s okay.”

After being waived, Ivey went live on Instagram again. He continued talking about his beliefs. The player even said that championship rings are “not gonna matter on judgment day.”

He also claimed: he “didn’t get myself waived” and said teams may avoid him because he is “too religious.” At another moment, he questioned why people reject his message:

“How is it when the gospel is preached that people hate it?” he said.

Jaden Ivey was drafted by the Pistons with the fifth pick in the 2022 NBA Draft. He was traded to the Bulls just last month.
