Masai Ujiri spoke to the media today for the first time since the Toronto Raptors season ended, and only hours after the news of Nick Nurse’s firing came out. He spoke for over 45 minutes, answering questions from the media about the coaching situation and the season as a whole.
He started the conference by expressing his gratitude to Nick Nurse for his contributions to the team, wishing him and his family all the best. He said it was a difficult decision to make and they had multiple conversations with Nurse over the past week that ultimately led to the decision to part ways.
