Day two of the Toronto Raptors training camp at the University of Victoria is in the books.
Following practice, Raptors All-Star guard DeMar DeRozan spoke with the media and discussed his memories of the Vancouver Grizzlies franchise and how he is surprised that Vancouver isn’t being mentioned as potential landing spot for another NBA franchise.
DeRozan said what he remembered most about Vancouver’s NBA team growing up were their bright turquoise jerseys.
The Grizzlies entered the NBA at the same time as the Toronto Raptors for the start of the 1995-96 season. However, the Grizzlies only lasted six seasons in Vancouver before being sold and eventually relocated to Memphis.
