… In Underage Relationship Investigation

Oklahoma City Thunder guard Josh Giddey will not face charges stemming from a police investigation into whether he had an improper relationship with an underage girl … TMZ Sports has learned.
Newport Beach PD tells us the case — which was launched back in November — is officially closed … after officials found no corroborating evidence.
In other words, no one involved was willing to talk … and 21-year-old Giddey is in the clear.
As we previously reported, Giddey was the center of serious allegations made on social media during Thanksgiving weekend … with photos and videos showing him interacting with a girl believed to be a high school junior at the time.
The NBA looked into the claims at the time … but once Newport PD got involved, Adam Silver said it would take a “backseat” and let law enforcement do its thing.
Our sources told us at the time that the minor and her family were unwilling to cooperate with investigators … which was a major roadblock in the process. We were also told the minor even lawyered up with prominent attorney Gloria Allred.
Giddey — who has not publicly addressed the allegations — has continued to play for the Thunder throughout the probe … and has faced jeers from opposing fans on numerous occasions.
