OAKLAND — A Golden State Warriors fan who saw an exchange between a Toronto Raptors executive and an Alameda County Sheriff’s deputy qualified his recollection of the event Monday.
The Raptors executive, Masai Ujiri, was accused of battery on an officer after allegedly pushing and striking the deputy in the face Thursday night during Game 6 of the NBA Finals at Oracle Arena.
Initially, Warriors fan Greg Wiener, who witnessed the incident, told the Associated Press that no words were exchanged between the deputy and Ujiri during the interaction. But on Monday, Wiener said the deputy did speak to Ujiri during the Thursday night confrontation that ensued immediately after the game ended.
