Golden State Warriors president apologizes to Toronto Raptors president Ujiri

OAKLAND, CALIF.—The president of the Golden State Warriors is apologizing to Raptors president Masai Ujiri after a video was released this week showing an altercation between the Toronto executive and a law enforcement officer at the NBA Finals last year in Oakland, Calif.

Rick Welts wrote on Twitter that he is “heartbroken” after watching the video that was part of a countersuit from Ujiri following a lawsuit by Alameda County sheriff’s deputy Alan Strickland.

Welts says while the team wasn’t responsible for security at Oracle Arena, he wanted to apologize because it happened at a Warriors home game.
