Masai Ujiri knew he was out as Raptors president in early June, led draft process anyway, MLSE CEO says
Ujiri worked through the NBA Draft knowing that he wouldn't be back next season
www.cbssports.comHere’s the latest I can summarize based on recent reporting:
-
Masai Ujiri parted ways with the Toronto Raptors in June 2025 after 13 years, ending his run as president and vice chairman of the team. The organization announced a search for his successor and noted changes within MLSE governance as part of the timing. [source coverage from late June 2025 reports][5]
-
Since his Raptors exit, Ujiri has been public about exploring future opportunities while staying engaged with global basketball and development initiatives, including work with Giants of Africa and other ventures. He has indicated openness to returning to the NBA if the right opportunity arises.[1]
If you’d like, I can pull more specifics (e.g., exact quotes, follow-up developments, or reactions from MLSE and other teams) or track new updates as they happen.
