Bobby Webster, Toronto Raptors and Masai Ujiri
Digest more
The Raptors have elevated general manager Bobby Webster to their head of basketball operations after firing Masai Ujiri this offseason.
When the ownership of the Toronto Raptors dumped Masai Ujiri as team president last month, it led to an obvious question: Was it a money thing? A personality clash with the new leadership at parent company MLSE?
Bobby Webster has been with the Toronto Raptors 13 seasons, nine as general manager. He helped shape the 2019 NBA Finals championship squad.

Masai Ujiri, the former Toronto Raptors executive and founder of Zaria Group, plans to take his $25m Zaria Court concept from Kigali to more African cities, building sports-focused hotels and arenas aimed at transforming the continent’s sports and entertainment landscape.
The post-Masai Ujiri era begins Oct. 22 against the Hawks in Atlanta, according to the schedule released Thursday afternoon. Two days later, Giannis Antetokounmpo and the Milwaukee Bucks will arrive for the Raptors home opener at Scotiabank Arena.
