Silver says Raptors GM Ujiri's remarks 'not appropriate'

General manager Masai Ujiri just might get fined again for words said before an NBA playoff game.
Ujiri gave his two cents in response to Paul Pierce's view of his Toronto Raptors on Saturday - much like last year, when he told Brooklyn where to go.
For that transgression, Ujiri was fined $25,000.
NBA commissioner Adam Silver, who attended Saturday's Wizards-Raptors playoff game in Toronto, told Canadian broadcaster TSN at halftime that Ujiri's remarks were "not appropriate in the league."
Silver also happened to be standing feet away from Ujiri when the GM made the comment.
