Raptors president fined $25K for walking on court to yell
NEW YORK — The NBA has fined Toronto Raptors president Masai Ujiri $25,000 for walking onto the court at halftime of Game Three against the Cleveland Cavaliers to verbally confront officials for reversing a call.
The league announced the fine Sunday (Monday Manila time). It stems from an incident that occurred Saturday night (Sunday Manila time) during the Raptors' 105-103 loss to the Cavaliers.
Toronto had been called for 14 fouls in the first half, compared with eight for Cleveland. The Raptors were irate that what had appeared to be a Serge Ibaka basket and potential free throw was downgraded to a foul with no basket and no free throw.
