It's March 31st. This is Global News Today, driven by AI tracking the world in real time. Chicago Bulls guard Jaden Ivy's third-up drama by blasting the NBA's pride month push as celebrating unrighteousness. He questioned why the league promotes that openly, but calls out gospel preaching as crazy. This came right after the Bulls shut him down for the rest of the season with a sore left knee. Ivy joined Chicago in a three-team trade from Detroit on February 3rd. He suited up for 37 games this year, averaging 8.5 points overall and just four with the Bulls, since getting sidelined on. February 11 Coach Billy Donovan pushed back hard, saying the team has folks from all walks of life, and Ivy's words don't match their values. He stressed keeping it professional, showing respect to everyone, and holding each other accountable. Ivy fired back that he wasn't way for being too religious. He claims he was in the jambree having his knee and doing his job on Monday, wondering why teams shy away from signing someone who shares the true.
Gospel. Meanwhile, with the regular season winding down, this clash spotlights the tight-rope players walk between faith and the league's inclusivity vibe, leaving fans debating where personal beliefs fit and pro-ball.
