Baynes working to mesh talents with Raptors

If joining a new team in a temporary home during a pandemic doesn’t sound like enough of a challenge for you, you might have something in common with Aron Baynes and his family.

The Raptors’ centre and his wife, Rachel Adekponya, welcomed their third child into the world this past week. Baynes posted a picture of himself holding the newborn in a Tampa hospital on his Instagram account.

“We had to make a quick decision as to where we were staying,” he said in a call with reporters on Tuesday.

“(Do we) have the baby in Phoenix or were we going to uproot everything, turn it all upside down and make it complete chaos the first few days?
