The Toronto Raptors have promoted general manager Bobby Webster to executive vice president and extended his contract, the team announced Monday. Webster, who has served as GM since 2020, will now oversee basketball operations alongside his new title.
Webster's Rise with the Raptors
Webster joined the Raptors in 2013 as vice president of basketball management and strategy. He played a key role in building the 2019 championship team and has been instrumental in recent roster moves. The extension ensures continuity as the team looks to rebuild after a challenging season.
Impact on the Franchise
The promotion reflects the organization's confidence in Webster's leadership. Team president Masai Ujiri praised Webster's contributions, calling him "a vital part of our success." Webster expressed gratitude and excitement for the future, noting the team's commitment to developing young talent.
The Raptors finished the 2025-26 season with a 35-47 record, missing the playoffs. Webster will now focus on the upcoming draft and free agency to strengthen the roster.
