The Toronto Raptors are missing out on the playoffs for the first time in eight years, as the combination of playing in Tampa, the COVID-19 pandemic, and a myriad of injuries made it tough for Nick Nurse and the rest of the squad to really find their footing. With Kyle Lowry and OG Anunoby missing time, players like Malachi Flynn and Jalen Harris can only do so much.
However, the good news is that their 2020 draft picks showed some promise and should give fans hope for 2021.
