Raptors president Ujiri on Sasha Vezenkov decision: ‘Hopefully, soon’
Masai Ujiri called Vezenkov a phenomenal player and expressed his wish to solve the dispute between the club, the player, and Olympiacos soon.
With the situation between Sasha Vezenkov, Toronto Raptors, and Olympiacos Piraeus still undetermined, Raptors president Masai Ujiri addressed the issue on Saturday during the NBA Summer League.
Ujiri was a guest in the commentator booth during the Raptors’ game against the Oklahoma City Thunder, which Toronto easily won 94-69.
“We’re still having that conversation. He had a tough time in the NBA last year. We are trying to figure it out,” Ujiri said. “The right decision will be made.”
“I think he’s a phenomenal player. Had a tough season last season, those things happen. Great shooter,” Ujiri continued. “Whatever happens, we’re going to make the best out of this situation. We support him in every way, and we know where our team is going. So, hopefully soon.”
Vezenkov has already reportedly reached a five-year agreement with Olympiacos, and the only hurdle separating him from returning to the EuroLeague is his current deal with the Raptors.
Toronto has so far been adamant that the Bulgarian forward will not be let go easily.
