DeMar DeRozan Learned He Was Traded to Spurs While in a Jack in the Box Parking Lot

When the Toronto Raptors decided to trade DeMar DeRozan to the Spurs to acquire Kawhi Leonard this offseason, many were shocked by the move.

DeRozan was among those who were surprised the four-time All-Star had been dealt from the franchise he became the face of over his first nine years in the league.

When the news broke on July 18 about the deal, DeRozan wasn't in a position to get notified, according to a new story from Jonathan Abrams of Bleacher Report. However, when he finally was reached and notified he was heading to San Antonio, it was while he was trying to get something to eat at a Jack in the Box in Los Angeles.
