New video released Tuesday appears to show Alameda County Sheriff's Deputy Alan Strickland shoving Raptors president Masai Ujiri in the chest twice as Ujiri tries to celebrate with his team following the franchise's title-clinching victory vs. Golden State in Game 6 of the 2019 NBA Finals.
At the time of the altercation, Ujiri was reportedly denied access to the court and the team's celebration because he reportedly did not have the correct credentials to be allowed on the floor.
Now, according to attorneys representing Ujiri, Strickland was "undeniably the initial aggressor" in the situation.
