PORTLAND, Ore. — The Portland Trail Blazers’ recently installed owner, who acquired the franchise for $4.25 billion, is facing backlash over an allegedly unconventional cost-cutting measure carried out during the NBA playoffs, according to a report published Monday.
The April 20 report did not specify the nature of the reduction but indicated that the move drew swift criticism from individuals familiar with the organization.
Neither the owner nor team spokespeople have responded publicly to the accusation. The NBA has also declined immediate comment.
The Trail Blazers remain in postseason action while questions about the reported decision continue to circulate.
