Later, after Giddey and Thunder coach Mark Daigenault addressed the rumors, multiple outlets reported that the NBA had launched an investigation into the matter.
"I understand the question, obviously, but no comment right now," Giddey told reporters after practice.
Daigenault was asked whether the budding situation was a distraction to the team.
"A personal matter and I have no comment on it," he said. "And that will be my answer on anything related."
Giddey, 21, is in his third NBA season. The Thunder selected the Australian with the sixth overall pick of the 2021 NBA Draft.
Giddey has played 145 NBA games, all starts. He has career averages of 14.6 points, 7.6 rebounds and 6.1 assists per game.
In 15 games this season, Giddey is averaging 12.3 points, 5.7 rebounds and 4.5 assists over 27.2 minutes per game, all career lows.
The Thunder host the Philadelphia 76ers on Saturday.
