The Oklahoma City Thunder revised Davis Bertans' contract on Thursday, removing a clause in which he would have received a guaranteed $16 million next season if he appeared in more than 75% of games this year.

In exchange, the Thunder increased Bertans' guaranteed salary from $5 million to $5.25 million for next season.

Bertans has appeared in 5 games for the Thunder this year.

Josh Giddey is being investigated by Newport Beach, California police on allegations he was involved in an improper relationship with an underaged girl, according to a statement from police chief Joseph L. Cartwright released Wednesday.

In a since-deleted post, an anonymous social media user said a girl who is seen with Giddey in videos and photographs was a high school junior at the time. The social media account has since been deactivated.

"The Newport Beach Police Department is aware of information being circulated online involving an alleged relationship between professional basketball player Josh Giddey and a female minor," the statement read, in part. "The Newport Beach Police Department is actively seeking additional information related to these allegations and pursuing all leads and evidence to obtain the facts of the case.

"The Newport Beach Police Department aims to ensure a fair and thorough investigative process while maintaining the privacy and dignity of everyone involved. At this time, NBPD Detectives are still conducting an active investigation."

The NBA is also investigating the allegations.

Giddey has remained in the lineup of the Oklahoma City Thunder while the investigations are ongoing. 

Oklahoma City Thunder guard Josh Giddey will play while the NBA conducts an investigation into his off-court activities. The league is investigating Giddey having an inappropriate off-court relationship.

Both Giddey and Thunder coach Mark Daigneault offered no comment when questioned about the alleged inappropriate relationship after practice on Friday. Daigneault confirmed Giddey would be available to play in Saturday's game against the Philadelphia 76ers.

The NBA has opened an investigation into allegations that Josh Giddy had an improper relationship with an underage girl. The allegations surfaced on social media this week.

"I understand the question obviously, but there's no further comment right now," Giddey told reporters when asked about the allegations after practice.

"Personal matter, and I have no comment on it," Daigneault told reporters. "And that'll be my comment on anything related."
