Raptor Goran Dragić takes personal leave

Goran Dragiu0107 is leaving the Raptors for the time being to “manage a personal matter,” the team announced Sunday. The veteran guard will be gone for an unspecified amount of time with the support of the organization.

“There is no definite timeline for this process, and we will advise updates as appropriate,” general manager Bobby Webster said in a statement. “Goran has the backing of Masai (Ujiri, the team’s vice-chairman and president). Nick (Nurse, head coach) and the entire organization, and we wish him nothing but the best.”

Dragiu0107’s family remained in Florida while he played in Toronto as the season began.
