Ujiri, 54, was reportedly entering the final year of his contract with the team, what would have been his 13th season in Toronto.
He began with the Raptors in 2013-14 and guided the franchise to its first and only NBA title in 2018-19.
The team has struggled in recent seasons, finishing with a 30-52 mark last season that saw Toronto miss the playoffs for a third straight time.

A longtime favorite of Knicks owner James Dolan — they tried to poach him from Toronto in 2019 — Ujiri will likely attract plenty of attention as a free agent.
The Nigerian exec began his front office career as an international scout with the Magic in 2008 and went on to win Executive of the Year honors in 2019.
