Sokolowski-Imagn Images Masai Ujiri is out as vice chairman and president of the Toronto Raptors, ESPN reported Friday.
Maple Leaf Sports & Entertainment made the move with one year remaining on Ujiri's contract, per the report.
Ujiri, 54, has been identified as a candidate in Atlanta's search for a president of basketball operations, according to NBA reporter Marc Stein.
After being named the NBA Executive of the Year in 2013 with the Denver Nuggets, Ujiri joined the Raptors as executive vice president and general manager. Six years later, Toronto won the franchise's lone NBA title by defeating the Golden State Warriors in six games.
Ujiri was instrumental in acquiring star Kawhi Leonard and sharpshooter Danny Green in the summer of 2018.
The Raptors finished a run of qualifying for the playoffs eight times over nine seasons (2014-22) by missing the postseason in each of the last three campaigns. They finished the 2024-25 season with a 30-52 record.
