Editor's Note: This story includes graphic descriptions of sexual assault allegations.

The Trail Blazers made it clear on June 29's introductory press conference that they were done discussing new head coach Chauncey Billups's past—his sexual assault allegations.

The organization opened the presser by announcing it had concluded its own investigation into the 1997 alleged rape that led to then-Celtics rookie Billups and several of his friends and teammates being sued by a woman who said he and his friends sexually assaulted her.

General manager Neil Olshey was the first to speak.
