Toronto Raptors officials visited Nashville this past week, as they continue evaluating potential home sites for the 2020-21 season.
First reported by Adam Vingan at The Athletic, the home arena in question is the Bridgestone Arena, which is where the Nashville Predators play. The site also regularly hosts SEC’s end-of-season tournament, so it’s not totally unfamiliar with hoops.
If you’ve been living off the grid for the last month or so, you might need some catching up here. Several sources have reported that the Raptors may have to play their home games south of the border in 2020-21 (at least to start the season), especially now that a December 22 start date is confirmed.
