Gary Trent Jr. carries with him a great sense of duty to himself, to his teammates and to the Raptors organization that has bestowed great riches and responsibility upon him.

It’s part of the gig, part of being a pro.
“Obviously when they pay you a certain amount of money and bring you in to be a part of what they’re trying to do, there’s a certain expectation and a certain way you need to go about things and handle situations,” Trent said.
