More details have emerged about the NBA’s plans to restart the 2019-20 season, including a more detailed schedules for when players should return to their local markets, when they’ll travel to Orlando, and when practices can begin.
The NBA Champion Toronto Raptors, though, will not be returning to Toronto; according to The Athletic’s Shams Charania, the champs will head straight to Florida in order to avoid having to quarantine twice (when crossing the border into Canada, and again when traveling to the U.S.).
Charania reports that while the other 29 teams must return to their team’s city to begin testing by June 22, the Raptors will travel to Naples, Florida, where they’ll use Florida Gulf Coast University’s Alico Arena as their practice facility.
