Toronto Raptors’ President Masai Ujiri to Depart

Masai Ujiri, the executive who led the Toronto Raptors to their first NBA championship, is set to leave the organization. The team announced the parting of ways with Ujiri, who has been instrumental in the franchise’s success over the years.

Ujiri’s departure is notable as it comes shortly after he participated in the 2025 NBA Draft with the Raptors and while he was still in the final year of his contract. His time with the team began in 2013, and he quickly made an impact, guiding the Raptors to finish first or second in their division for seven consecutive seasons.

The pinnacle of Ujiri’s tenure came during the 2018-19 season when the team captured the NBA title by defeating the Golden State Warriors.
