Raptors stop team practices due to COVID-19, training individually

TORONTO - The Toronto Raptors have stopped practising as a team, instead working with coaches individually.

It’s a precautionary measure being introduced as Toronto’s game against Orlando on Monday night was postponed due to a COVID-19 outbreak on the Magic.

The Raptors have also been touched by the coronavirus, with all-star forward Pascal Siakam and rookie Dalano Banton entering the NBA’s COVID-19 protocol.

Toronto’s new practice regimen will feature just one player and one coach drilling at one net at a time.

There are six nets at the Raptors’ practice facility but a team spokesperson says they’ll likely limit practice to four of the hoops.
