Beloved veteran leaves undeniable legacy as Raptors' most decorated bench player

I honestly thought that Chris Boucher was going to stick around as a Raptors-lifer, akin to what Udonis Haslem became for the Miami Heat. Sure, he didn't begin his NBA career with the Raps, winning a title with the Golden State Warriors back in the 2017-18 season, but Boucher quickly found his comfortable footing with his home country Toronto Raptors franchise.

The Toronto Raptors officially acknowledged Boucher's departure from the franchise with fitting social media tribute posts after he signed a one-year deal with the Boston Celtics last week. Boucher leaving the team is a bittersweet development — it's sad because he's been with Toronto for a while, but it's also significant since CB was the last remaining player from the 2019 Raptors championship squad.
