TORONTO - Masai Ujiri is returning to professional basketball in Toronto.

The longtime basketball executive is joining the WNBA’s Toronto Tempo’s ownership group.

Ujiri led the Toronto Raptors for 12 years, serving as team president from 2016 and guiding the franchise to its 2019 NBA title.

He exited the organization in June 2025 and has since focused on Giants of Africa, a charity he co-founded to expand basketball across the continent.

The Tempo’s ownership also includes Larry Tanenbaum, Serena Williams, and Geoff Molson.
