The Toronto Raptors have (barely) made it to the All-Star break!
Sure, every team had a condensed off-season as well, but was any other team required to pick up and move homes (and countries)? All of that change had a significant impact on the team, as they got off to a horrendous 2-8 start. In addition to clawing back to a playoff position, the team watched as teams left, right, and centre kept losing players and games due to COVID-related issues. They almost — almost — made it to the break unscathed.
Now they’re probably the hardest hit team in the league.
