OAKLAND, Calif. — Moments after the Raptors won their first NBA championship, team president Masai Ujiri allegedly assaulted a local police officer at Oracle Arena in Oakland, Calif., the sheriff’s office said Friday. A spokesman for the Alameda County Sheriff’s Office said Ujiri was making his way to the court to celebrate his team’s historic win over the Golden State Warriors on Thursday when he was stopped by a sheriff’s deputy and asked for his credentials. “This deputy had no idea who (Ujiri) was,” Sgt. “Our deputy pushed the man back and told him he couldn’t go onto the court,” Kelly alleged. “We would expect more from a team president.”Neither the Raptors organization nor the Alameda County District Attorney’s Office immediately responded to a request for comment.
