Mavericks hire Masai Ujiri as president and alternate governor
The Dallas Mavericks have hired former Toronto Raptors executive Masai Ujiri as team president and alternate governor.
Ujiri was in charge of the Raptors when they acquired Kawhi Leonard from the San Antonio Spurs and won the 2018-19 NBA title in Leonard’s only season with Toronto.
The 55-year-old Ujiri replaces Nico Harrison, who was fired as general manager in November.
That was nine months after he traded Luka Doncic to the Los Angeles Lakers in a deal that ended up being a huge setback for the Mavericks.
