Toronto Raptors President Fined $35K For Actions In Loss To Miami Heat

Prior to the Toronto Raptors’ game on Wednesday night against the Philadelphia 76ers, the NBA announced that they have fined President Masai Ujiri $35,000 for approaching the scorer’s table the other night and directing inappropriate language toward a game official.

This happened on October 22 in Miami, a game in which the Raptors lost 112-109. While it is unknown what exactly Ujiri said to warrant this fine, the NBA has made it clear that they will discipline any player or team staff member who goes out of their way to criticize game officials, especially during a game.
