Masai Ujiri fired as Raptors president and vice chairman after 13 years with franchise
TORONTO (AP) — Toronto Raptors president and vice chairman Masai Ujiri was fired Friday after 13 years with the franchise.
www.ajc.comHere’s the latest I can share based on recent reporting.
- Masai Ujiri parted ways with the Toronto Raptors in June 2025, ending his 13-year tenure as president and vice-chairman of the franchise. The organization announced the move shortly after the NBA draft, and a search for his successor was to begin immediately.[4]
- His departure marked the end of a championship era for the Raptors, who won their first NBA title in 2019 under his leadership; the team stressed confidence in the remaining leadership and future plans as they moved forward with Bobby Webster and his staff.[4]
- In ongoing coverage, there were contemporaneous discussions about ownership group changes within Maple Leaf Sports & Entertainment (MLSE) and related corporate leadership shifts, though no immediate details altered the Raptors’ on-court rebuilding timeline.[4]
If you’d like, I can pull more recent, section-specific updates (e.g., potential new roles for Ujiri, or reaction quotes from MLSE leadership) and cite the exact articles.
