Along with everything else that has come with the Raptors’ championship win, there is yet another first for us all to experience next week. The NBA season is set to tip-off this Tuesday night with Toronto playing host to the New Orleans Pelicans. Sadly, as has already been reported, Zion Williamson will not play — but the Raptors and their fans will have plenty to celebrate regardless.
That’s because, yes, the Raptors are going to raise their 2019 NBA championship banner to the rafters of the Scotiabank Arena on Tuesday. What’s more, the players on the team will be presented with their title rings, a little slice of history.
