ANALYSIS: Grange added that Ujiri has been more active in his communications with players and staff in recent weeks, and that the expectation had always been that he would approach contract negotiations at the end of the season. Ujiri has been with the Raptors since 2013 and oversaw the franchise when it won the NBA title in 2019.
