Toronto Raptors

After 24 seasons, the Toronto Raptors can now call themselves champions for the first time. Toronto defeated the Golden State Warriors 114-110 in Thursday’s Game 6 of the 2019 NBA Finals to win the series. The Eastern Conference champions didn’t lose a single away game away stopping the Warriors from winning three straight titles and [...]

Firing head coach Dwane Casey, the most successful clipboard-wielder in franchise history, may not be the only drama the Toronto Raptors author this offseason. Apparently, they’re open to trading, well, everyone. Here’s ESPN.com’s Adrian Wojnarowski speaking on the matter (via Def Pen Hoops’ Rob Lopez): [tweet https://twitter.com/r0bato/status/1004150490685374464] And here’s Woj’s exact words, courtesy of Bleacher [...]

As we all know by now Drake likes to do his part to put Toronto on the map, after running through the six with his woes during his formative years before finding fame in the city. He is also a sports fanatic and has a partnership with the Toronto Raptors organization. This partnership has lead [...]

The Toronto Raptors are waiting to see whether they’ve dodged a bullet or been hit by one straight-on. Kyle Lowry left their Monday night win against the Brooklyn Nets during the overtime period after injuring his back while going up for a rebound. The sequence itself did not look pretty. Lowry landed square on his [...]

Vince Carter will not retire from the NBA without signing one more contract with the Toronto Raptors. It may not be a real contract. It may be one of those one-day deals that Paul Pierce and other stars have inked with teams just before walking away. Whatever the contract is, though, he’s sure it’s coming. [...]

Kyle Lowry is picking up where he left off before being forced out of action with a wrist injury after the All-Star break: by playing a lot of basketball. Lowry returned to the Toronto Raptors’ rotation on Wednesday night, making his first appearance since Feb. 15, just before All-Star Weekend. And he played 42 minutes. [...]

Every so often leading into the NBA’s trade deadline, there’s a high-profile player or five who seems overwhelmingly likely to get dealt. And by this we mean it becomes a huge shock should said player finish the season with his current team. This year, Serge Ibaka falls under that umbrella. There’s a new spin on the [...]

People rarely mention the NBA’s upcoming trade deadline without also talking about the Toronto Raptors. And that seems to make sense. After all, the Raptors are second in the Eastern Conference. They have a void at power forward. They have a bunch of interesting assets, from first-round picks, to intriguing prospects (Norman Powell, Lucas Nogueira), [...]

With Nerlens Noel basically out of the Philadelphia 76ers’ rotation, it’s only a matter of time before he gets shipped elsewhere. At least we think it’s only a matter of time. You never really know with the Sixers. But Noel serves no purpose if they aren’t going to play him, and they need to move [...]

The Toronto Raptors just got a little thinner as center—which is a problem, considering they were pretty thin there to begin with. Jared Sullinger, whom the Raptors essentially signed as a Bismack Biyombo replacement, is expected to miss a bunch of time after having foot surgery, per The Vertical’s Adrian Wojnarowski: [tweet https://twitter.com/WojVerticalNBA/status/790276368646963200] It’s not [...]
