NBA calls Raptors about Drake’s antics on Scotiabank Arena sidelines

The NBA wants to tone down Drake’s on-court antics in the Toronto Raptors NBA Final series versus the Golden State Warriors.

The league made a call to the Raptors to discuss the Toronto rapper’s behaviour on the sidelines.

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 — which are allowed by the NBA’s fan conduct policy, so long as extreme language is not used — 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 Nurse’s shoulders — which are in violation of said policy.
