Malika Andrews and jalen Rose hugging


Jalen Rose’s career likely flashed before his eyes after an accusation from a female co-host.

Jalen Rose has become a frequent guest on “NBA Today,” but his latest appearance saw him with an awkward hug that led to Malika Andrews accusing him of touching her in an inappropriate place.

Toward the end of the episode, he pulled Malika into a hug. During this hug, she said, “get your finger out of my armpit.”

Looking more into the video, it appears that Richard Jefferson may have been the culprit playing a joke behind them. It certainly was not Rose with his fingers in her armpit.


While all of Jalen’s fingers were visible, Richard was not on camera. Afterward, he and Jalen dapped.

Neither Rose, Andrews, nor Jefferson have spoken out about this on social media.
