"Acquired at the trade deadline from Detroit in the Kevin Huerter deal, there were some immediate red flags around Ivey when he held an impromptu postgame sermon in February 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.” Monday was more than enough in being the final straw, as there was an ongoing opinion that Ivey’s behavior was somehow spiraling....
...There was noise out of Detroit that Ivey was not only very religious but a bit of a “preacher” in the locker room, so why was there not enough homework done on him by Karnisovas before the deal?"

Apparently its been an issue for a while.
