Toronto Raptors president Masai Ujiri voiced support for Dwane Casey on Wednesday but said the head coach will be evaluated, just like everyone else on the team, following a second-round sweep by the Cleveland Cavaliers.

“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 session with reporters. “I’m looking at everything, negative and positive … and how it all comes together.

Ujiri is “absolutely disappointed” by the way the season ended but said when he looks at the big picture, he likes what he sees.

“To me, it’s not doomsday. Where our program is, it’s not doomsday,” Ujiri said. “Now it’s my job. Put it on me. … We will get better here.”
