Knicks blast Adam Silver for dragging out bombshell Raptors investigation
NY Post
The Knicks blamed Adam Silver’s bias for the NBA dragging its feet to arbitrate their explosive dispute against the Raptors.
“We’ve been waiting for any direction from the NBA on next steps in this matter for months — proving our point that the NBA is not capable of appropriately and fairly handling this serious theft of proprietary and confidential files,” read a statement to The Post from an MSG Sports spokesman. “Unfortunately, because of the clear conflict of interest between the Commissioner and the Chairman of the NBA, there has been complete silence from the league.”
In August of 2023, the Knicks filed a lawsuit in court alleging their former video coordinator Ike Azotam had stolen “thousands of proprietary files” such as scouting secrets and shared them with his new employer, the Raptors.
The court ruled in June that the NBA should handle the dispute and requested an update by Dec. 13.
The Knicks and Raptors agreed in a joint filing Friday that there was no update.
“As of the date of this letter, the NBA has not yet set a process or schedule, and discovery has not commenced,” it read.
