The Toronto Raptors will end their three-game homestand against the Detroit Pistons on Wednesday night. Tonight’s game will run high on emotions as former Raptors head coach Dwane Casey will make his return to the city and organization that he called home for the past seven seasons.

The longest-tenured coach in Raptors’ history, Casey became the franchise’s eighth head coach in 2011 and began the rebuilding phase immediately. His first move as head coach may never be forgotten: he went out and got the organization to place a 1,300-lb boulder outside the team’s dressing room.
