Started from the bottom now OVO is here.

The Raptors have renamed their practice facility the OVO Athletic Centre, as their partnership with Drake continues to grow.

The Toronto Raptors practice facility will now be known as the OVO Athletic Centre, the team announced Thursday.

The two-storey, 68,000-square foot venue on the Exhibition Grounds opened just before NBA all-star weekend in 2016 and was originally called BioSteel Centre.

“Drake and OVO are an important part of our city’s landscape, our team’s identity, and our plans to bring a championship to Toronto,” Raptors president Masai Ujiri said in a statement Thursday.
