The Toronto Raptors on Thursday announced their 2021-22 broadcast schedule, which includes Sportsnet and TSN each carrying 41 games. However, the biggest news around the 82-game broadcast schedule was not about the when or where, but the who, as familiar face Leo Rautins won’t be back on TV.
While Rautins could be a bit of a divisive personality on the air given his commentating style, he’s been a fixture on Raptors broadcasts over the last few years, and the combination of him and Jack Armstrong has helped provide in-game analysis for years.
After 26 years working on Raptors games, Rautins has been replaced by former Raptors guard Alvin Williams on Sportsnet broadcasts.
