TORONTO — The decision to sign a multi-year extension with the Toronto Raptors was an easy one for Masai Ujiri. Toronto is home for me,” Ujiri said in an interview this week at his office overlooking the courts at the Raptors’ training facility. Ujiri spoke of his passion for the non-profit organization ahead of Friday’s world premiere of the documentary “Giants of Africa” at the Toronto International Film Festival. Many Raptors have also an expressed an interest in participating, but Ujiri said he doesn’t want anyone to feel it’s an obligation as part of the team. So, I’m respectful to them, and I’ve never really built it around players going over there.
