TORONTO — 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 Toronto Raptors fired president and vice chairman Masai Ujiri, the franchise announced Friday, less than 12 hours after the 2025 NBA Draft and days before the start of free agency.

The Toronto Raptors officially confirmed on Friday that Masai Ujiri is no longer serving as the team's president and vice chairman, ending a transformative 12-season tenure that included Toronto’s first NBA title in 2019. Ujiri was entering the final year of his contract, and the decision follows a disappointing 30-52 campaign in 2024-25.
