The Toronto Raptors have undergone a significant transformation since Masai Ujiri took charge, leading the team to its first championship in 2019. Despite a recent struggle, missing the playoffs for three consecutive years, Ujiri's leadership has substantially increased the franchise's value. Following the 2025 NBA draft, Ujiri was let go by the Raptors as they move forward with General Manager Bobby Webster remaining in place. The hope is that a new president will continue the rebuild and eventually return the Raptors to contender status.

Ujiri's impact extends beyond the Raptors; his contributions to the growth of basketball in Africa and his charitable work are well recognized. As the team looks to rebuild with stars like Scottie Barnes and Brandon Ingram, the Raptors remain optimistic about their future prospects.
