In what appears to be a lull in free agency and trade activities, the New York Knicks have been anything but dormant. According to ESPN, the Knicks are pursuing legal action against both a former staff member and the Toronto Raptors for alleged theft of sensitive documents.
Accusations and Alleged Breach
Ikechukwu Azotam, who once served as the assistant video coordinator for the Knicks, is believed to have illicitly procured numerous player profiles and preparation manuals. This haul purportedly consisted of scouting profiles and in-depth rival research. In a breach of both his employment terms and a confidentiality agreement, Azotam is accused of handing over these confidential assets to the Raptors’ administration.
