Toronto Raptors part ways with exec Masai Ujiri


The Toronto Raptors have parted ways with vice-chairman and president Masai Ujiri, Sportsnet’s Michael Grange confirms.

Ujiri was entering the final year of a five-year contract that he signed back in 2021. The move comes just a day after the end of the NBA Draft and before free agency opens on June 30.

The Raptors went 30-52 this past season and missed the playoffs for the third straight year.

The Raptors hired Ujiri as vice-president and general manager back in 2013 to replace Bryan Colangelo. He helped turn the team into a consistent playoff contender.

In 2019, Toronto would win its first NBA championship with Ujiri and the front office completing a franchise-altering trade bringing in Kawhi Leonard.

ESPN’s Shams Charania first reported the news.
