The Dallas Mavericks announced the hiring of Masai Ujiri as their new team president and alternate governor. Ujiri spent 13 seasons in Toronto, building the Raptors into a champion team that won the 2019 NBA title. He previously worked with the Denver Nuggets' front office from 2010-2013 and was named NBA Executive of the Year. The Mavericks fired GM Nico Harrison on November 11 after a 3-8 start, and Ujiri's hiring comes as the team enters the NBA draft lottery with the eighth-best odds.
