The Raptors are, for this season, a Toronto team in name alone.
As NBA owners and players work through the minutiae of resuming the suspended 2019-20 season, it’s becoming clearer that the Raptors will base their operations totally outside of Canada until the season is over.
According to reports Tuesday, the team will hold a training camp in Florida before becoming one of 22 teams inside an NBA bubble on the Disney grounds just outside Orlando, where a champion will be determined in October.
The decision, while not official as the Raptors work through various logistical hurdles, makes the most sense and has ever since the league decided to resume its season in one central location.
