Sunday night date with Clippers in Honolulu after camp in Victoria has its benefits, and challenges.
HONOLULU—Dwane Casey said he spied Kyle Lowry running on the beach outside the Raptors’ hotel at about 5 o’clock Saturday morning: a testament to Lowry’s conditioning regimen, but also because of the crazy time-zone differences the team has had to adjust to for NBA training camp.
At a time when teams and the league are trying to find ways to ease the demands of time changes and travel, to keep players fresher for longer, the Raptors are on a journey that will mess with the most smoothly running body clocks.
