Video released by lawyers for Toronto Raptors President Masai Ujiri appears to show a sheriff’s deputy shove the executive twice in the moments following the team’s 2019 NBA Finals win in Oakland, Calif.

Ujiri went onto the court to join his celebrating team when sheriff's deputy Alan Strickland stopped him because the Raptors executive didn’t provide the proper on-court credential, according to Strickland, leading to a shoving match. Prosecutors decided in October 2019 not to press criminal charges against Ujiri.

The footage is one of three video files contained in a court submission shared with media outlets late Tuesday by Cotchett Pitre and McCarthy LLP, the law firm representing Ujiri in U.S. federal court.

“The entire incident was caught on camera. The video footage shows Mr. Strickland was undeniably the initial aggressor,” the court filing states.

The case is still before the court and none of the allegations have been proven.
