Jaden Ivey didn’t last long with the Chicago Bulls before he was waived, let go, or whatever polite term is being used these days to fire someone. It came after he posted a video sharing his thoughts on Pride Month and the NBA.
You're Fired
In it, Ivey spoke openly about his Christian faith and took issue with the league’s promotion of Pride Month. He called it unrighteous. He questioned why that message is celebrated so openly while opposing views seem to carry consequences.
By the end of the day, the video was everywhere.
Not long after that, the Bulls announced they were waiving him for what they described as conduct detrimental to the team.
That is the official explanation.
Granted, he broke his leg in January 2025 while playing for the Pistons, and in the NBA, that kind of injury can derail momentum in a hurry. So was he still trying to work his way back?
Maybe.
