If Tomegun has information implicating Foster in that mess, maybe he should share that info with the NBA and the government.

To tomegun's defense, the possible definitions of implicated include "implied". In that sense, he is fully correct. The mere mention of him in the way that was done in the article is itself an implication.
Sure, neither the government nor the NBA has implicated him, but that doesn't stop some journalist form doing so. And this journalist did so in way short of stating it as fact but only to lead the reader to suspect possible guilt based on the circumstances.
