While a return was expected to be on the table, the Bulls eventually shut Ivey down for the rest of the season. Then on Monday, following a few days of rants on social media about religion, the Bulls decided to release Ivey after he called the LGBTQ+ community unrighteous.<\/p>\n<p>Ivey posted a message saying \u2018\u2018The world proclaims LGBTQ, right? They proclaim Pride Month and the NBA does too, they show it to the world. They say, \u2018Come join us for Pride Month to celebrate unrighteousness.\u2019\u2009\u2019\u2019<\/p>\n<p>With the Bulls in San Antonio, they made the decision to move on from him releasing a statement as well as having Billy Donovan talk on the matter.
