Eighteen months after an unwanted altercation with an Alameda County sheriff’s deputy, Masai Ujiri can step away from the lengthy legal dispute that ensued.
Alan Strickland and his wife, Kelly Strickland, filed for dismissal of their lawsuit on Wednesday in a California district court.
Strickland attempted to stop Ujiri, the Raptors’ president, from walking onto the court after the Raptors had defeated the Golden State Warriors for the NBA title in Game 6 of the NBA Finals on June 13, 2019. Bodycam footage showed Strickland stepping in front of, then shoving Ujiri with two hands as Ujiri was attempting to present a credential.
