Team president Masai Ujiri voiced support for Casey after they were ousted by the Cavs, but left the door open for this decision.

"I believe in Dwane Casey, I believe in the work he's done. It's not different than anything I've said last year," Ujiri said at the team's season-ending media session. "I'm looking at everything, negative and positive ... and how it all comes together. How do we win? This organization should be all about winning and how we build winning.

Casey went 320-238 in seven seasons in Toronto, leading them to the playoffs each of the last five years - but that included just one conference finals appearance.
