"Goran is taking some time away from the team, with our full support, to manage a personal matter," Webster said.

"He has been a complete professional in the time that he has been with the Raptors Goran has been a great mentor to our younger players and a valued teammate for our veterans.

"He will continue to work out and stay in shape during his time away. There is no definite timeline for this process, and we will advise updates as appropriate. Goran has the backing of Masai, Nick, and the entire organization, and we wish him nothing but the best."

Dragic appeared in five NBA games this season, averaging 8.0 points, 2.8 rebounds, and 1.8 assists for the Toronto Raptors.
