Raptors president Masai Ujiri released a statement on Instagram for the first time since the 2019 lawsuit stemming from a scuffle with a law enforcement officer was dropped on Wednesday.
Ujiri thanked the NBA, Maple Leaf Sports and Entertainment as well as team owner Larry Tanenbaum for their support.
"I have decided my fight isn't a legal one," Ujiri said in the Instagram post. "Now the challenge is this: What can we do to stop another man or woman from finding themselves in front of a judge or behind bars because they committed no crime other than being Black?
