An ex-Minnesota Timberwolves employee is out of jail on a supervised release after being arrested and charged with felony third-degree burglary for allegedly stealing thousands of internal files, including "strategic NBA information," from a team executive, according to a court filing Thursday that obtained by ESPN.
Somak Sarkar, 33, was released Thursday after an initial court hearing in Minnesota. As part of the conditions of his release, Sarkar can't contact the Timberwolves executive, Sachin Gupta, whom he allegedly stole information from, either directly or indirectly, including through social media.
Sarkar must also avoid any property owned, operated or managed by the Timberwolves, and he cannot leave the state of Minnesota.
