The Knicks, in multiple court filings, claimed the Raptors poached their former video coordinator, Ikechukwu Azotam, and ordered him to give them confidential internal scouting information.

Azotam is a former Knicks video coordinator who was hired by the Raptors.
The Knicks had asked for $10 million in the lawsuit and explosively accused NBA commissioner Adam Silver of being a biased arbiter because of his close relationship with Raptors owner Larry Tanenbaum.

Earlier this month, Knicks owner James Dolan and Silver were spotted together in Abu Dhabi, where the pair were watching a Knicks-Sixers preseason contest.
The Knicks accused the Raptors and Azotam of criminal behavior, filing the initial lawsuit in 2023.
According to ESPN, it was dropped on Thursday with no public explanation.
The Raptors had filed a countersuit, alleging the Knicks were just looking for attention.
That was also dropped.
