Mike Budenholzer not a fan of Drake roaming the sidelines

Drake Nick Nurse

Drake’s behavior during the Eastern Conference Finals has become enough of a topic of conversation that coaches are weighing in.

During Game 4 in Toronto, the rapper and Raptors superfan made his way over to coach Nick Nurse and gave him a massage during the middle of the game. This struck a lot of observers the wrong way, as nobody in the arena seemed interested in doing anything about Drake — ostensibly a fan — roaming the sidelines unchecked.

Milwaukee Bucks coach Mike Budenholzer shared those concerns, too.

Drake was a hot topic of conversation on today’s conference call with Mike Budenholzer. He said, in part, “There’s certainly no place for fans — or whatever Drake is for the raptors — on the court. There’s boundaries and lines for a reason.”

There’s nothing wrong with Drake acting like an over-the-top fan, but it would probably be best if he stayed near his seat while doing it. It’s not a distraction the coaches need.
