Giannis Antetokounmpo and Damian Lillard have been named the NBA's Players of the Week.

Leading the Bucks to a 3-0 record last week, Antetokounmpo averaged 33.3 points, 16.0 rebounds, 5.0 assists, 2.7 blocks and 1.7 steals per game while shooting 58.2% from the field.

In home victories over Toronto, Chicago and Philadelphia, Lillard averaged 28.3 points (43.3% FG, 39.3% 3-PT, 100% FT), 2.7 rebounds, 8.3 assists, 1.00 steal and 1.67 blocks.

An investigation by the Portland Trail Blazers into Neil Olshey appears to be in its final stages. SNY reports that "the most likely outcome" is for the Blazers to part ways with Olshey.

Olshey is owed more than $12 million on his current contract, SNY sources say. Olshey's remaining salary could be a sticking point in how the two parties part ways.

The Blazers hired Olshey to run the front office in 2012.

Damian Lillard is day-to-day with an abdominal injury and missed the Portland Trail Blazers' 124-95 loss at the Denver Nuggets.

Chauncey Billups said he had to convince Lillard to sit for the game with the injury.

Lillard is averaging 20.0 points, 4.3 rebounds and 8.1 assists while shooting just 38 percent from the field and 26.8 percent on three-pointers. 

Portland Trail Blazers President of Basketball Operations Neil Olshey is reportedly "fighting for his job". Olshey will meet with investigators next week, as they look into accusations of workplace misconduct on the part of Olshey.

Olshey reportedly has no interest in taking a buyout, making any kind of deal or taking a settlement. Olshey has maintained his innocence since the accusations were made public.

The initial investigation was scheduled to be complete by November 5. Due to investigators speaking with more than 60 individuals, the deadline has been extended.

Chris McGowan informed the Portland Trail Blazers on Friday that he’s resigning as president. 

Dewayne Hankins will be promoted to president of the Trail Blazers, effectively immediately.

McGowan joined the franchise in 2012.

The Blazers are currently investigating Neil Olshey for allegedly creating a toxic and hostile work environment. 

Following the Portland Trail Blazers loss at the LA Clippers, Damian Lillard sounded off on NBA officiating. Lillard attempted just one free throw in the game, despite feeling he was fouled multiple times.

"The way the game is being officiated is unacceptable. I don't want to go too deep into it so they make a big deal out of it, but the explanations that's getting missed, I mean, come on," Lillard said. "I felt like coming in, the rule change wouldn't affect me, because I don't do the trick the referees. I don't do the trick plays. It's just unacceptable."

Lillard is one of several players, including James Harden, Trae Young and Jayson Tatum, who have had issues with the way the NBA is enforcing foul-drawing this season. In attempt to crack down on players parading to the free throw line, the NBA changed the way they would call fouls where the offensive player initiates contact.

For Lillard, these changes, in part, have resulted in him averaging 19.3 points per game. That's the lowest mark since Lillard's rookie season. The Blazers star is also shooting a career-worst 36.5% overall and 25.5% on three-pointers. In addition, Lillard is averaging the fewest free throw attempts of his career at 3.2 freebies per game.

The Portland Trail Blazers are in the midst of an investigation into workplace misconduct on the part of General Manager Neil Olshey. While that investigation is still in its early days, there is speculation it could result in Olshey being fired.

If Portland does move on from Olshey, there is an expectation that former Boston Celtics President of Basketball Operations Danny Ainge could be a target to run the team's basketball operations, according to Chris Mannix of Sports Illustrated. Ainge retired from Boston's front office at the end of the 2021 season and has remained a consultant to Brad Stevens and the Celtics.

At this point, there is no indication that Ainge would be interested in running the Blazers front office.

Ainge is from Oregon, having grown up in Eugene. Ainge was a three-sport star at North Eugene High School. Ainge garnered first-team All-American honors in football, basketball and baseball.

Neil Olshey is under investigation for creating a hostile work environment that includes complaints of intimidation, profanity-laced tirades and bullying, sources tell Chris Haynes of Yahoo! Sports.

Employees of the practice facility were interviewed on Thursday and Friday.

O’Melveny & Myers, the firm enlisted to investigate the claims, extended its investigation to interviewing individuals outside of personnel at the practice facility and including former and current employees.

Olshey has run the Blazers since 2012.

Damian Lillard said his duty with the Portland Trail Blazers will remain the same while the franchise opens an investigation into president of basketball operations Neil Olshey.

Olshey is under investigation for workplace misconduct. 

"The games continue. Our jobs continue. And that's all we can do," Lillard said Saturday after scoring a game-high 25 points in a 105-90 win over the Los Angeles Lakers. "That's what we can control is doing our job and being prepared, and me being here for 10 years now and being a big part of this organization and this team, it's my job to continue to do that the way that I have. And that's what I can control and that's what I'll do."

Lillard has been with the Blazers since 2012, just a few weeks after Olshey was hired to run the front office.

"I think the best way to lead is to focus on leading the team," Lillard said. "We play basketball, and my job is to be the point guard and the captain of this team. And to continue to do that."

The Portland Trail Blazers and Jody Allen have launched an investigation into alleged workplace misconduct by Neil Olsehy.

At least one Portland employee has reported potential misconduct.

When contacted about the investigation on Friday night, the Trail Blazers told The Athletic: "We don't have a comment on this matter at this time." Allen also declined to comment to The Athletic on Friday night.

Olshey did not respond to multiple text messages left by The Athletic.

The nature of the allegation is not currently known.
