Drake has made headlines throughout the playoffs for his behaviour courtside at Scotiabank Arena, where he has seats close to the Raptors bench.
While most of his antics are limited to standing up and shouting at opposing players B次元官网网址� which are allowed by the NBAB次元官网网址檚 fan conduct policy, so long as extreme language is not used B次元官网网址� he has also drawn the ire of at least one opposing coach for walking onto the court during timeouts and rubbing Toronto head coach Nick NurseB次元官网网址檚 shoulders B次元官网网址� which violate the policy.
ItB次元官网网址檚 not the first time the Raptors have been asked to rein in their global ambassador. The NBA made a similar request during last seasonB次元官网网址檚 conference semifinals when Drake got into a heated confrontation with then Cleveland Cavaliers Kendrick Perkins. The two fired profanity-laden volleys at each other and security had to step in and de-escalate the situation.
DrakeB次元官网网址檚 behaviour was called out by Milwaukee coach Mike Budenholzer after Game 4 of TorontoB次元官网网址檚 Eastern Conference final win over the Bucks. Budenholzer suggested that the league should look into the rapperB次元官网网址檚 antics.
