TORONTO (AP) — Toronto Raptors president and vice chairman Masai Ujiri was fired Friday after 13 years with the franchise. Ujiri joined the Raptors in 2013 as executive vice president and general manager. He was promoted to president in 2016 and surrendered his responsibilities as GM in 2017, when Bobby Webster took over.

The Raptors have been seeking a new direction for a while, but their peaks with Masai Ujiri will remain etched in NBA history

The Toronto Raptors and team president Masai Ujiri have parted ways, the team announced Friday. It's a shocking move by the Raptors, especially one day after the conclusion of the 2025 NBA Draft. Ujiri had been with Toronto for 12 seasons and was the architect behind the 2019 championship team.
