Ujiri to stay in Toronto, 'confident' about Kawhi

Toronto Raptors president of basketball operations Masai Ujiri says he's staying with the team he helped build into an NBA champion.

Ujiri made the announcement to reporters during his season-ending media availability.

"I love it here. My family loves it here. My wife loves it here, which is very important. My kids are Canadians. You want to win more. ... In my mind, I'm here," Ujiri said Tuesday.

Earlier this month, league sources told ESPN the Washington Wizards were preparing to offer Ujiri a deal approaching $10 million annually with an opportunity for ownership equity.
