The New York Knicks sued the Toronto Raptors, claiming a former Knicks employee stole scouting reports, play frequency reports, a prep book and other information after getting a job offer at the rival National Basketball Association team.
The Knicks filed suit Monday against the Raptors, the Toronto team’s head coach, Karko Rajaković, and the former employee, Ikechukwu Azotam, in Manhattan federal court. The New York team claims Azotam, who worked in its video analytics and player development groups, stole the information to aid novice coach Rajaković in setting up his coaching and video staffs.
“Defendant Rajaković and the other Raptor Defendants recruited and used Azotam to serve as a mole within the Knicks organization to convey information that would assist the Raptors Defendants in trying to manage their team,” the Knicks said in their complaint. “Knicks’ records show that the stolen files were accessed over 2,000 times by the Raptors defendants.”
The Knicks claim its insider threat security team discovered the theft last week. They’re seeking unspecified damages and a court order forcing the defendants to stop using any of the information it claims was stolen. The case is New York Knicks LLC v. Maple Leaf Sports & Entertainment, 23-cv-07394, US District Court, Southern District of New York .
