A Toronto Raptors executive accused of shoving and hitting a sheriff's deputy when he was denied access to the court during last year's NBA finals is being sued over the alleged altercation.
when he was denied access to the court during last year's NBA finals is being sued over the alleged altercation.
Alameda County Sheriff deputy Alan Strickland filed a lawsuit on Feb. 7 in the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of California against Masai Ujiri, the Raptors' president of basketball operations. Strickland said in the suit that he was working security at Game 6 of the NBA finals at Oracle Arena in Oakland when he stopped Ujiri from going onto the court after the Raptors won against the Golden State Warriors.
The deputy said that there had been a prior security breach when an unauthorized person presented fake credentials to gain access to the court following a game, and deputies at the Raptors' game were told not to let another breach occur. Strickland alleged that Ujiri had"no visible credentials" and tried to get past security without showing credentials. The deputy said he told Ujiri to stop repeatedly but was ignored, according to the lawsuit.Sign Up
