Masai Ujiri is out as president and vice chairman of the Toronto Raptors, ESPN is reporting, citing sources.
Ujiri joined the team’s front office in 2013 and led the NBA’s sole Canadian franchise to its first-ever championship in 2019.
The details surrounding Ujiri’s departure were not immediately clear. Ujiri was entering the final year of his contract.
Before Ujiri’s arrival, the Toronto Raptors had seen a five-year playoff drought and only ever won one post-season series in franchise history.
Since then, Toronto went on to the post-season eight times and won nine series, culminating in a championship six years ago.
