OAKLAND, CALIF.—These have been trying and emotional times for Patrick McCaw, periods of great heartbreak mixed with periods of great joy, and the 23-year-old Raptors swingman deals with it the best he can.
Here he is, in his third straight NBA Finals at a tender age, this time wearing a Raptors jersey after two seasons with the Golden State Warriors. It’s a strange and unique circumstance of which he is rightfully proud.
But he is also carrying around the pain of the recent loss of a sibling, and it’s put the world in great context.
