The Dallas Mavericks are hiring Masai Ujiri as the franchise's new Team President and Alternate Governor, according to Shams Charania and Tim MacMahon.
Ujiri joins the Dallas front office following an era-defining stint with the Toronto Raptors, where he served as the lead executive from 2013 to 2025. He is widely recognized as the primary architect behind the Raptors' 2019 NBA championship run, a period that saw the franchise ascend to the top of the Eastern Conference and maintain consistent playoff relevance for over a decade.
In addition to his role as Team President, Ujiri will serve as an Alternate Governor for the Mavericks. The move marks a significant acquisition for Dallas ownership as they look to bolster their leadership team with one of the league's most respected executives. Ujiri brings a wealth of experience in scouting, player development, and championship-level roster construction to the organization.
