Bulls waive Jaden Ivey after his anti-Pride remarks
Chicago Sun-Times ^ | Mar 30, 2026 | Joe Cowley

The Bulls wanted to see more from Jaden Ivey than just the four games he gave them before his knee issues became a concern and he was shut down.

As of Monday, however, there is nothing the organization wants to see from him any longer.

The Bulls waived Ivey on Monday “due to conduct detrimental to the team” because of Ivey’s latest social media comments saying Pride Month celebrated “unrighteousness.”

Acquired at the trade deadline from Detroit in the Kevin Huerter deal, there were some red flags around Ivey last month when he held an impromptu postgame sermon about the “Old Jaden Ivey” being dead, especially now that “Christ was in his life.”

Over the last few weeks, he started taking to his social media account and preaching to people his beliefs, while condemning those that he felt weren’t “saved.”

IF I had any interest in ThugBall, the Bulls would now be waived from any more interest, since they support queers.

Ivey’s Mom is the women’s basketball coach at Notre Dame.

He criticized the NBA’s support of LGBTQ and Catholicism.

Ivey’s quotes:

‘The world can proclaim LGBTQ, right?’ Ivey told viewers via livestream on Monday. ‘They proclaim Pride Month. And the NBA, they proclaim it. They show it to the world. They say, “Come join us for Pride Month, to celebrate unrighteousness.” They proclaim it on the billboards. They proclaim it in the streets. Unrighteousness.’

‘Catholicism is a false religion,’ he wrote. ‘And is not the true Doctrine of Christ. It does not lead to salvation in Jesus Christ.’

‘I’m not the same player I used to be,’ he said. ‘That’s why. I’m not the J.I. I used to be. The old J.I. is dead. I’m alive in Christ no matter what the basketball setting is.’

What Jaden Ivy said that got him cancelled:

“The world proclaims LGBTQ, right? They proclaim Pride Month and the NBA does too. They show it to the world. They say, ‘Come join us for Pride Month, to celebrate unrighteousness’”.

He called out “Pride Month” as a celebration of unrighteousness. Now let’s see if there’s an NBA team with the courage to sign him and tell the gay mafia to get over themselves.

Yep he dared to call “Pride Month” for the pure garbage that it is, made up nonsense to glorify disgusting behavior

After all gay rights is the most important foundational element of any basketball team.

Same here, and I grew up a Chicago fan from a very young age. No more.

Glad he’s out of there. He would have been a target during practice

Would they have done the same if Ivey was a Muslim? Apparently only Christians are fair game. As a Catholic, I find the guy’s remarks ridiculous & judgmental, but he shouldn’t lose his job over them, especially since he wished harm on no one. He still has a right to his opinions, even if it involves a sacrosanct group like LGBTs.

May the Good Lord bless and keep this young man. And may the NBA go extinct.

I can’t wait until the pro-homo sports burn themselves to death.

Vengeance is mine saith the Lord, also discourages suing
your ‘neighbor’ - best to just pray burning coals on their
conscience.

Come on people. Is he or is he not any good? I’m talking about basketball ok? If he’s not good enough it doesn’t matter.
