The Toronto Raptors won just one game in the month of March, helping a team that was 17-17 and on pace to host a home playoff series at the beginning of the month tumble down to the bottom of the standings, which prompted non-stop trade rumors and focus shifting from the playoffs to the 2021 NBA Draft.
The Raptors already started this season off on a sour note, as the NBA’s lone Canadian franchise is playing games in Florida due to the COVID-19 pandemic, essentially making sure they don’t have any home games all season long.
