Big trade-deadline pickup Serge Ibaka finds comfort zone in first Raptors camp: “I feel like Toronto is home now.”

Raptor Serge Ibaka beats Jusuf Nurkic of the Trail Blazers to a rebound, with backup from Jonas Valanciunas, in pre-season action in Portland last week.

CHICAGO—After practice is over and before exhibition games begin, Serge Ibaka attaches himself to a couple of bungee cords being held by a member of the Raptors’ conditioning and strength staff and works on closing out on perimeter shooters.

It’s a boring drill involving no basketballs, no shots and with nothing on the line except improvement.
