So say a player pay $5 to enter his brother's high school raffle and wins a few hundred. He can't keep that?
It's not that he won money in a contest, it's that he won money in a contest playing basketball. If he was a football or baseball player, this wouldn't be an issue.

I bet it also has to do with the fact that it's a professional basketball team giving the money.
Rigging raffles has been a problem in the past.
Not in this case, but a slippery slope.

No
He didn't get paid to compete in an organized game. He made a half court shot during a halftime show and won the prize. So if a college quarterback wins a $10 prize at the football toss booth at the fair and he can't keep it?
