Raptors President Masai Ujiri Tests Positive for COVID-19

Raptors vice chairman and president Masai Ujiri tested positive for COVID-19, according to a statement from the team on Thursday.

Ujiri said that he received the positive test after Sunday's Giants of Africa gala, the first in-person event by the organization since 2019. Despite testing positive, he noted in the statement that everyone had to "show proof of vaccination and to wear masks when not eating or drinking."

"Unfortunately, after the gala, we learned of a positive case COVID-19 tests among our guests—and even though I am fully vaccinated and have received a booster shot, I also subsequently tested positive," Ujiri said.
