It was a thriller in Toronto as DeMar DeRozan had just scored to put the Raptors up 93-95 over the Wizards with 12.9 seconds left in the game. The Wizards called timeout to advance the ball, and Paul Pierce was about to inbounds the ball.
So, why is Drake just casually right there behind Pierce seemingly trying to his best to distract Pierce? Who knows? However, this is something the NBA needs to address. Drake’s arm grab didn’t affect Pierce’s inbounds, since Pierce wasn’t handed the ball as yet, but it definitely wasn’t cool.
The Raptors held off the Wizards to win the game, but whether or not Drake is the Raptors team ambassador doesn’t make a difference. He needs to have a seat somewhere away from the ball.
