A judge on Friday ruled NBA commissioner Adam Silver, not the court, should resolve the teams' dispute over the alleged theft of confidential files.

) is a senior writer for ESPN Digital and Print, focusing on the NBA. He has covered the Lakers, the Celtics and previously worked for The Boston Globe and Los Angeles Times.

For now, the case, which had been playing out in the U.S. Southern District Court in Lower Manhattan, is on hold while the sides seek to potentially find a resolution out of court.If Silver finds that the case can't be arbitrated, the court has to be notified within seven days of that decision, according to the filing. All parties have until Dec. 13 to provide an update to the court about where the arbitration process stands.

"The truth or falsity of that allegation is not the question at this stage," Clarke wrote in Friday's filing."Instead, the question before the court is where this case should proceed: either in this court or in arbitration before the Commissioner of the National Basketball Association." The Knicks alleged that Azotam -- who worked for the Knicks as an assistant video coordinator, then as a director of video/analytics/player development assistant -- sent the Raptors thousands of confidential files, including play frequency reports, a prep book for the 2022-23 season, video scouting files, opposition research and more.

In a court filing one month later, the Knicks argued that Silver had a conflict of interest because of Tanenbaum's position as the chair of the board of governors.
