TORONTO - The Toronto Raptors are indeed coming home — finally.
A team spokesperson confirmed Friday that the team has received the green light to play at Scotiabank Arena this season, after a season spent in Tampa. Fla.
How many fans can be in attendance, however, is still to be determined.
“We are optimistic regarding our ability to host full capacity events at Scotiabank Arena,” the spokesperson said.
The Raptors will open their pre-season against the Philadelphia 76ers on Oct. 4 — their first game at Scotiabank Arena in more than 19 months.
The Raptors announced a five-game pre-season schedule on Friday that includes two home appearances.
