Sheriff's deputy drops lawsuit against Raptors president Masai Ujiri

Alameda County Sheriff’s Deputy Alan Strickland dropped his lawsuit against Toronto Raptors president Masai Ujiri, stemming from an incident that occurred directly after Game 6 of the 2019 NBA Finals, according to court documents obtained by KTVU’s Lisa Fernandez.

In response, Ujiri dropped his countersuit against Strickland, Fernandez reports.

Strickland’s lawsuit stems from an incident that occurred after the 2019 Finals. Ujiri made his way down to the Oracle Arena floor to celebrate the Raptors’ championship victory and take part in the customary on-court presentation of the Larry O’Brien Trophy and Finals MVP Award. Strickland forcefully stopped Ujiri on his way to the court.
