The Toronto Raptors, a professional basketball team, are seeking for a Manhattan federal judge to dismiss a data-theft lawsuit currently filed against them by the New York Knicks. The Raptors argue that the Knicks have already conceded that, based on contractual aspects, both parties are obligated to resolve the dispute through arbitration.
