Ex-Timberwolves Analyst Pleads Guilty to Data Theft

Somak Sarkar admitted to unauthorized computer access after stealing a hard drive with sensitive information from a team executive.

Sarkar, who was fired in March, accessed and downloaded over 5,000 files from the hard drive.
The stolen data included personal financial information and strategic NBA details like player contracts.
Sarkar initially faced a felony burglary charge, which was later dismissed.
Sentencing is scheduled for July 9, with Sarkar likely avoiding jail time.
The Timberwolves have not commented on whether the data theft harmed the team.
