On the eve of the NBA final against the Golden State Warriors, Toronto Raptors president Masai Ujiri took time to credit two key members of the organization sent packing last off-season.
When asked about the job coach Nick Nurse has done at his news conference Wednesday, Ujiri shifted the focus to ex-coach Dwane Casey and former star DeMar DeRozan before praising his current bench boss.
“Give Dwane Casey credit,” Ujiri said. “He prepared us for this, too. It’s not something that started in one year . . . I want to say Dwane Casey and DeMar DeRozan are part of this.
