The NBA discussed Drake's sideline antics with the Toronto Raptors during the Eastern Conference finals.

Drake drew Mike Budenholzer's ire after leaving his courtside seat in game 4 to massage Nick Nurse's shoulders.

"There's certainly no place for fans and, you know, whatever it is exactly that Drake is for the Toronto Raptors. You know, to be on the court, there's boundaries and lines for a reason, and like I said, the league is usually pretty good at being on top of stuff like that," said Budenholzer.

Downplaying his impact ahead of the NBA Finals, Steve Kerr cited his own fanbase when explaining how Drake fits into the league's place in pop culture.

"I kind of think it's fun and the NBA kind of embraces the pop culture dynamic of the league and the stars and the celebrities who are out there. And we got E-40 ready for them too, so we're in good shape."
