The Toronto Raptors fanbase tuned in to the NBA lottery “show,” filled with hope, but the dream quickly turned into a nightmare. Raptors’ President Masai Ujiri was in attendance to represent the team for the festivities, hoping to bring some good luck charm and potentially bring home a top-four pick. The Raptors have a 31.9% chance of landing a coveted top-four pick. Instead, the NBA gods punished them by bumping them not one, but two spots back with the 9th pick overall.
The Raptors get the 9th pick in the 2025 NBA Draft. Not much of a reaction from Masai Ujiri.
