The Toronto Raptors have stunningly parted ways with president and vice chairman Masai Ujiri just a day after the NBA Draft.
Ujiri had been with the organization since 2013, and helped lead the team to its first title in 2019.
But Uriji will no longer continue with the Raptors despite overseeing the team’s draft this year, as reported by ESPN’s Shama Charania.
Charania added that Uriji was entering the final year of his contract with Maple Leaf Sports & Entertainment, the parent company of the Raptors, and that both parties ‘decided’ to split.
Toronto made two selections in this year’s draft, picking Collin Murray-Boyles at No. 9 before selecting Alijah Martin at No. 39 overall on Thursday night.
