The New York Knicks say they have sued the Toronto Raptors organization as well as several members of their staff for taking and using proprietary files, an MSG spokesperson told Sportsnet on Monday.
“The New York Knicks have sued the Toronto Raptors and several members of their organization, including a former Knicks employee, after the former employee illegally took thousands of proprietary files with him to his new position with the Toronto Raptors,” MSG said in a statement. “These files include confidential information such as play frequency reports, a prep book for the 2022-23 season, video scouting files and materials and more. Given the clear violation of our employment agreement, criminal and civil law, we were left no choice but to take this action.”
The Raptors said they were made aware of the initial complaint last Thursday in a letter from MSG, but have not been advised that a lawsuit has been filed.
“MLSE responded promptly, making clear our intention to conduct an internal investigation and to fully cooperate,” the Raptors said in a statement.
“MLSE has not been advised that a lawsuit was being filed or has been filed following its correspondence with MSG. The company strongly denies any involvement in the matters alleged. MLSE and the Toronto Raptors will reserve further comment until this matter has been resolved to the satisfaction of both parties.”
