According to Tamsin McMahon of TheGlobeandMail.com, the Alameda County Sheriff's Office has released pictures to The Globe and Mail showing the altercation. The photos allegedly show that a crime was committed (by Ujiri).

However, they are not allowing the publication to release the pictures to the public, because they believe it will interfere with the investigation as they may be pressing charges against Ujiri.

With that in mind, it seems like the public will have to wait a little longer to see exactly what happened. It appears likely that the pictures and videos will be released when the entire ordeal is over.
